I am
Description
Klein, master of Advaita Vedanta in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi and Atmananda Krishna Menon, offers one of the clearest and most direct expositions of Advaita and yoga.
In this book Jean Klein offers an explanation of Advaita. Told in a question and answer format, Klein includes ideas like: "The root of all desires is the one desire: to come home, to be at peace. There may be a moment in life when our compensatory activities, the accumulation of money, learning and objects, leaves us feeling deeply apathetic. This can motivate us towards the search for our real nature beyond appearances. We may find ourselves asking, 'Why am I here? What is life? Who am I?' Sooner or later any intelligent person asks these questions. What you are looking for is what you already are, not what you will become. What you already are is the answer and the source of the question. In this lies its power of transformation. It is a present actual fact. Looking to become something is completely conceptual, merely an idea. The seeker will discover that he is what he seeks and that what he seeks is the source of the inquiry."
