In the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Ramesh Balsekar, Wayne Liquorman teaches a contemporary, no-frills version of Advaita, the ancient Indian principle of non-duality. Advaita, which literally means “not two,” is the ancestor of all non-dual religions such as Zen, Taoism, Buddhism, and Sufism. In this book the author, with humor and irony, calls it a “teaching about nothing,” and describes his life as an alcoholic drug addict who one day was suddenly “struck sober.” He then describes becoming a spiritual “seeker” journeying through a myriad of spiritual teachings and practices, and ultimately meeting Ramesh, who introduces him to advaita, and who eventually becomes the guru that leads him to a complete and irrevocable awakening. The format used in the book is that of questions and answers during talks with students. Following the exposition of the Advaitic teachings, there is a chapter on how the “seeking” begins, followed by a whole chapter on the false notion of personal doership. The chapter called “Paths” discusses the various means and methods by which the aspirant seeks to attain enlightenment and why these are exercises in futility. The following chapter, “Enlightenment,” discusses what enlightenment is and isn’t. Finally, the chapter, “Guru and Disciple,” speaks of the mysterious “resonance” that happens between sage and disciple through which the Guru manifests.
