James Swartz explains and unfolds the methods of Vedanta in his direct style, while unravelling the myths and mysteries behind the enlightened state. But this book does not simply present one more set of spiritual techniques; it presents a comprehensive body of knowledge and practice that has successfully directed the inquiry into the nature of reality by untold thousands of enlightened beings.

James Swartz attended Lawrence University and the University of California before finding his niche in the world of business, where he had great success. But in 1967 he experienced a major epiphany that turned him away from that life and he traveled to India on a spiritual journey, searching for the path to enlightenment. There he met the famous Indian sage Swami Chinmayananda, whose teachings set him free. James now teaches Vedanta through worldwide seminars and his website, shiningworld.com. He is also the author of How to Attain Enlightenment: The Vision of Nonduality
