“They say that for him who is no longer aware of shariram [Sanskrit for 'the body'], all is clear. But what exactly does that mean? Ramana [Maharshi], for example, took his meals, was interested in food, its preparation, etc. I am afraid that the idea that we make for ourselves of this experience of non-awareness is false…. I think that this duality which we assert between advaita and dvaita is precisely our mistake. The Greek and Cartesian mentality.
“Jesus did not cudgel his brains to make a philosophy about his Advaita with God. He lived this non-duality with absolute intensity simply by gazing like a child at his 'Abba.' And he taught his people to live, simply but deeply, without limit. And in the absoluteness of their self-giving to God and the neighbor, the non-dual Absolute is found and lived with far greater truth than in Vedantic speculations.”
