"The Ultimate Medicine" is not for those who like their spirituality watered down, but for serious students searching for awareness. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) lived and taught in a small apartment in the slums of Bombay. A realised master of the Tantric Nath lineage, he supported himself and his family by selling cheap goods in a small booth on the streets outside his tenement for many years. His life exemplified the concept of absolute nonduality of being. In this volume, Maharaj shares the highest truth of nonduality in his own unique way. His teaching style is abrupt, provocative and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on non-essentials. His terse but potent sayings are known for their ability to trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing or reading them.
