Tattva Upadesha Of Shankara: A Sermon on Non-Dual Reality - Paperback

by Shraddhesh Chaturvedi (Author)

In Tattva Upadesha, a sermon on non-dual reality, Shankara discusses the journey of self-knowledge through the interaction of a Guru and his disciple. He shows the basic flaws in one's understanding of the real 'I' with proper reasoning. This logical clarity precedes the realization. When we confuse a rope with a snake, our fears appear real to us and bother us until we realize the incorrectness of our assumption. A bad dream bothers us in the same way until we open our eyes. Are the pains of our life real or can we come out of them with a systematic approach? Luckily, Shankara outlines an uncomplicated way, conforming to Upanishadic teachings, to unravel our blissful reality that is non-dual.
