The End of Me & My Story

The End of “Me” & “My” Story: A Collection of Essays on Non-Duality

The End of Me and My Story is a compilation of some of the most thought-provoking essays on the subject of Non-Duality or Advaita. Non-duality is an ancient teaching that explores self-realization and spiritual awakening by understanding our true nature.
This book contains pointers to one reality that can only be described in words as complete freedom or pure unconditional love. What you seek is not separate from you. Separation is an illusion brought about by the sense of personal identification. The dissolution of this sense of separate existence or ego is one of the most liberating experiences that brings one peace and harmony in daily living.

“Having never left the house, you are looking for the way home.” – Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj
