About the author
Sukhdev Virdee
19 books3 followersSukhdev Virdee was born in Nairobi, raised between cultures, and found his first home in music. His debut Punjabi pop album became a chartbuster in India, taking him to perform live across every continent.
Just before his 40th birthday, three friends independently gifted him the Bhagavad Gita within two weeks of each other. He read it as if Krishna was speaking directly to him. Everything began to shift.
A year later, during morning meditation, something broke open completely. In an instant the sense of being a separate individual dissolved, what remained was pure Awareness, alive in everything, one with everything. Time stood still. Every particle of the universe was shining.
That experience led to eight years of deep immersion in the Upanishads and Advaita Vedanta, not to find what had already been recognised, but to understand it so completely that he could help others see it too.
Sukhdev is the author of 15+ books on Self-realisation, all written in accessible story form requiring no prior philosophical knowledge. His flagship work is the bestselling six-book I Am Consciousness series. His latest, The Pathless Path*, is a five-book series continuing that journey.*
He lives and teaches in Mumbai, working one-on-one with serious seekers from around the world who are ready to go beyond the pointing — into the direct dismantling of the separate self.

Author has done an excellent job in treating a conceptually difficult subject of Brahman/Supreme-Consciousness realization by summarising the examples drawn from various Upanishads in a manner akin to done in our sacred scriptures.
An Acharya, quite well narrates the findings, based on queries raised by a group of 'students'. The punch lines came towards the end :
"The mind is something and Brahman is nothing. Only when we remove all things including our bodies, minds, thoughts and ego will nothing be left to be realized. Thus we cannot realize Brahman with anything...”
