Advaita Bodha Deepika (English)

THE LAMP OF NON-DUAL KNOWLEDGE

One of the few books highly spoken of by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

In this work the author has explained how ignorance obscures the true nature of the self which is non-dual only; how by its veiling aspect it covers it with two effects - 'that it does not exist' and 'that it does not shine forth', how by its other aspect, in the shape of the mind, it projects individuals, Iswara and the world, presenting them as real; thus giving rise to illusion.

How one fully qualified is alone fit to obtain this knowledge;and how by the eventual unobstructed realisation of BRAHMAN the seeker becomes free from the bondage of the three kinds of karma which form the cycle of births and deaths;how in truth there is neither bondage nor release for the SELF and in what way to extinguish the mind.
