I came across this book about a year ago called "I Am That". It is a collection of transcribed conversations, translated to english, between Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and the many people who have come from around the world to debate him or seek his wisdom. Beside being fairly high priced it was very hard to find at the time. There may be more in print now. There are more Nisargadatta books just like it and even a DVD with some live footage. He died in 1981 at age 84 and though his words are timeless he was from our time. This make it more relevant to me, as there's no mystery in the history of what he is talking about.
I've read a lot of books but never one like this tome. I Am That is deep and profound, yet simple and accessible. It is very provocative and stimulating yet might never be fully understood or realized by the reader.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this book and if they had any comments, good or bad about it. Here's a link to Amazon
Here is one, among many definitions of nonduality
Nonduality is the nature of reality according to teachings (generally originating in Asia) such as Advaita, Buddhism and Dzogchen, and probably Taoism as well. Nondual traditions converge on the view that experience does not imply an "I". Light and shade, long and short, black and white, can only be experienced in relation to each other; light is not independent of shade, nor black of white. There are no opposites, only relationships.
