Seeds Of Consciousness

This book is a compilation of unpublished talks with the contemporary Indian sage, Nisargadatta Maharaj. Recorded in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it represents some of the fundamental teachings of this important sage. All of the sayings point the reader back to the truth of one's true nature--one of undying peace and happiness. Many contemporary teachers, such as Lama Surya Das, Wayne Dyer, and Jack Kornfield, draw on the words of Nisargadatta for inspiration and clarification. These wisdom-teachings are combined with photos of Maharaj and some of the locations he lived in in Bombay and the surrounding area. This book is a spiritual journey back to the source of true and abiding peace and happiness. Nisargadatta Maharaj was a simple family man, and owner of a cigarette shop. The beauty of his teachings lie in their remarkable clarity and wisdom, which is borne of the highest realization and spiritual understanding.

A story of a middle-aged man who embarked on the journey to save his one and only daughter, only to discover the reality is not what it seems and his ancient lineage.

This book offers excellent pointers on living wisely and fully, clear insight into approaching therapy from a non-dual perspective, and a light touch with the ultimate truth. The author addresses a multitude of important questions: - How do we fully live in the world and yet avoid getting attached to it? - How do we deal with our painful thoughts and feelings? - What about personal responsibility and relationships? - What is truth? - How can we become truly happy? - Are we really in control of our lives? - Can we ever hope to get enlightened?

Today I want to share with you my experience in life, hoping it will help remind how wonderful you are. You came to the world to be happy, it is your birthright. If your life is perfect, if you are happy and if you have all that you desire, you keep doing the same thing. But if you feel lost, stressed and devalued and you feel that your life has no sense, therefore, this book is for you.
