POWERLESSNESS = STRENGTH We suffer from the most insidious kind of addiction - one we don't even realize we have. It is the addiction to power itself. Both the Twelve Steps of recovery and the ancient teaching of Advaita reveal that powerlessness is the secret to genuine strength. The proposition that lasting peace in life can come through the recognition of complete personal powerlessness may seem counterintuitive and ultimately ridiculous. Yet, lasting peace is the miracle The Way of Powerlessness makes possible.

Retired bank president, golfer, husband, and father doesn't fit the stereotype of an Indian guru—which may account for Ramesh Balsekar's enormous popularity. His background and education, combined with his profound spiritual studies, make him an ideal bridge between East and West, the spiritual and the material. Regarded as the world's greatest living sage, Balsekar is the primary exponent of the teaching of Advaita, which holds that everything is one, that all humanity is an intrinsic part of the universe rather than split from it: in short, that nonduality is the all-encompassing truth. This anthology comprises thematic extracts from all the master’s written works to date. Approved by Balsekar, as well as by his leading disciple, Wayne Liquorman, it is powerful, accessible, witty, and always to the point.

Written with humor and profound insight, this book offers a bold exploration of existence. It addresses the challenge of staying present while grappling with the mind, which operates as it is designed to do. The author challenges common misconceptions that lead to human suffering, such as the beliefs of personal inadequacy and the notion that we are the sole authors of our thoughts and actions. Emphasizing the divine nature of all existence, even in pain, the author asserts that everything is a perfect manifestation of the Source, and that peace is found in acceptance. The inquiry begins with a critical question: Why do people engage in harmful behavior? The author suggests that a lack of consciousness is a key factor and questions why individuals don’t pursue self-inquiry to elevate their awareness. If the path to peace is as simple as asking, "Who Am I?" what prevents people from doing so? This leads to an exploration of internal barriers that inhibit our intentions. The author posits that there are aspects of our construction that limit our actions, often beyond our control. While change is possible, the book invites readers to reflect on whether one can truly be different from who they are in the present moment, challenging the societal belief that we can always transform ourselves.

Ramesh S. Balsekar war Präsident der Bank of India, bis er im Alter von 60 Jahren sein Leben völlig umkrempelte: Er arbeitete für seinen Guru Nisargadatta Maharaj, übersetzte dessen Gespräche, erlangte dabei die „letztgültige Erkenntnis“ und begann 1982, von seinem Guru dazu aufgefordert, selbst zu lehren. Bald hatte er den Ruf, einer der bedeutendsten lebenden spirituellen Lehrer zu sein. Das Buch „Erleuchtende Gespräche“ gilt als klarste und eindeutigste Darstellung der Lehre der Non-Dualität.
