This Silence may also just appear spontaneously, when one is resting, at peace, or just allowing a moment of stillness to happen. Chup Sadhana is an effortless no-practice practice, which reveals this ever-present, underlying Silence in which all the events of life are experienced.
This is the missing link, which connects different spiritual traditions.

This is a new translation and commentary by Clarissa on Drg Drsya Viveka, a short, but powerful scripture, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, who is said to have lived in the ninth century.
The focus of this scripture is Awareness itself. In only 31 verses, the attention is taken from normal every day experiences, all the way to the very Source of attention, to Awareness, in which the experiences are happening.
As the subject matter is extremely abstract, this book will be of interest to people who have been practising Yoga or related disciplines, and in whom some opening and preparation has already happened.
Buy book at Lulu.comAll events of life, all experiences, all teachings and all paths appear in Awareness and are in fact nothing but Awareness.
Awareness is the seeker, Awareness is the seeking and finally Awareness is That, which is discovered by Awareness. This is Self-realization.
No methods, no philosophies, no practices, just a direct pointing to what is never absent.
This is the stunning purity of Ashtavakra Gita, an ancient yet little known scripture of Advaita Vedanta.
Astavakra Gita can be considered a truly universal text, for it does not date itself to any period of time, nor does it attach itself to any religion, culture, or ethnic group.
This new commentary and translation of the Ashtavakra Gita by Mansoor brings out the simplicity and majesty of these verses of pure Non-duality, making them accessible to everyone on the spiritual path.
