‘Family’.

…A show is put up for society that every family is a happy one, and that is why social gatherings take place just to show their solidarity and love. But is the love and solidarity genuine? This is the question every man needs to address and confront. There is nothing to put right for everything is rightfully in its place, as the world is manifested by life. The show is present so that man may understand whether it is real or not and a family may really be a family, and not a collection of friendly enemies under one roof, which is the case anywhere in the world….

 

‘Wisdom’

...In a world of men who race after knowledge with the determination of hunting hound in pursuit of the fox, understanding of wisdom and knowledge has needed clarification. In this beautiful article 'Wisdom', Dr. Shankar shows the relativity of knowledge, on the one hand, and the reality of wisdom. The pursuing hounds will pursue, those who look deeper into life will welcome this gift from wisdom itself…

Kaivalya Gita volume 6
Randy Breuer
I am enjoying KG vol. 6 very much. Thank you. After reading the book a couple of times every chapter is a revelation. The chapter "Infinity" resonates even more deeply than the others: The preface is deeply moving.
Dr. Shankar:
Very happy for you that you find every chapter a revelation.


 

Article: ‘Family’
Julian Capper

Such an enjoyable article on what is the most important issue in any man's life, whether or not he has a family around him. What we take for granted and do not really appreciate in the journey of life, is clarified so movingly here. Thank you, Dr Shankar for such care and understanding.

KG series

Julian Capper

Kaivalya Gita reveals a deep and penetrating understanding of the mind that will touch the lives of all those who read it. It is rare that the wisdom of a living sage is gifted to us by life and that it comes directly through his own spoken words. There is no process of interpretation in any Kaivalya series of books. In Kaivalya Gita are unravelled the complexities, the challenges and the highs and lows of living that each one of us experiences. In our search for solutions and answers we resort to the mind, in vain, for the complexities are never dissolved, the highs and lows never understood. However, step by step, Dr Shankar shows that what we really and truly seek is here and now, within each of us. He shows also that the mind, albeit illusory, nevertheless reflects that which is eternal and changeless – your own self. Kaivala Gita vol 6 is now available.

 

The Power of illusion

Marcus Stegmaier, M.A.

The text in the book The Power of Illusion is so beautiful!. The book will only find a few readers in the next centuries, who are really able to appreciate it. But it doesn't matter ... the book will be waiting for the reader.

Dr. Shankar:

Therefore the need for the academy to preserve these books is crucial and life will prepare what it needs to.

Promotion letter of AAU

Thank you for your promotion of the Academy of Absolute Understanding. What a wonderful title. Perfect. But my friends, the content is NOT perfect, totally from a relative idea or viewpoint. Dr Shankar, my dear friend and great teacher, is indeed a wonderful voice, all be it a touch confusing at times, but the essence is indeed perfect pitch. I don’t believe that this came from him directly, or ???

However you request for assistance and money is un-necessary . If the universe needs this university (??????) it will supply apparently. It’s as simple as that. Ask Dr Shankar, he should confirm. No attachment, no need, un-conditional.

This is a mighty statement made by who? Who thinks that they can share such an opinion or stand in authority over EVERY teaching etc etc. Clearly this whole idea is misunderstood and an illusion in itself. All is just this, including your statement that things should be different. Illusion?, its another dogma, those that you say are illusory. Illusion or not, its inescapable, you can’t get away, so what sort of illusion is that then? Sorry, you are talking out of the back of your ..... Life may well be an illusion, or not, but what is a fact is that now is now and there is an awareness of this now happening to you. Say it isn’t true, and the men in white coats will take you away. If you are going to write such lines, know who you are first. Clearly who ever wrote this is clouded and living behind the veil which is also another illusion. Think about it. I wish you the enlightenment that you so advertise. Life is, as it is, what it is, Isness. Knowing that, Namaste,

 

Dr. Shankar

Every word is spoken by life as an auditory illusion of sound and not by man. Man is not the thinker, speaker or the doer. Life shares the illusion and the explanation of the illusory too. Life and everything in life is enlightened. Life asks and life gives. The giver and the taker are the same.
