Spiritual Dialogues with Akilesh

This is a collection of various questions Akilesh has answered online over the last two years as a spiritual teacher. They proceed from a vision of nonduality rooted in the Hindu tradition called vedanta.

Nonduality suggests that the sense that "I am a doing, suffering, enjoying person who experiences the world" is an illusion. This illusion is the root cause of suffering and of existential angst. It is the purpose of nonduality to penetrate this illusion.

Spiritual Dialogues deals with issues ranging from the practices of self-inquiry and surrender to questions of free will, psychological baggage, and much more. It is a must for serious seekers of the truth.

Spiritual Dialogues is not meant as an introduction to nonduality. It should be treated as a companion text to Akilesh's  earlier book, How to Find What Isn't Lost: A Short, Pro-Intellectual, Pro-Desire Guide to Enlightenment, and to the material on his website, Sifting to the Truth.
