IN THE LIGHT OF THE SELF by Alistair Shearer

Advaita offers a vision of life as the manifestation of an absolute, non-dual consciousness transcending all time, space and causation, and it provides the direct means to experience this divine ground of all being as our own Self. from being some dry and dusty 'Indian philosophy', Advaita is a system of practical psychology, based on meditation and insight, that draws the practitioner into the deepest consideration of their own status and what it means to be a human being. This book presents the teachings of Adi Shankara in a highly approachable form through modern translations of his original writings.
