The Nature Of Man According To The Vedanta

First of all, this book is not to be read casually, as it can be dificult to digest. It might help if the reader has elementary knowledge of non-duality also. That said, the author did a fine job of introducing what is quite possibly the most brilliant philosophy ever conceived to a Western audience. Advaita Vedanta is a philosophy extrapolated from various Hindu texts. Many authors feel the need to use a number of the original Sanskrit terms even when the book is written in English. Thankfully Mr. Levy did not do this. Afterall, the terms are not important; having an understanding of the philosophy of non-duality is. I highly recommend this book to true aspirants seeking the path to understanding that is within. Now, I have to go start reading this book for the second time, as it will take several reads for me to grasp all of the concepts presented in the text :)

The Nature of Man According to the Vedanta is a unique and profound book placing ancient eastern wisdom into an easy to digest format. Through years of dedicated study John Levy has boiled down his understanding and placed it in a way as to be understood by a western mind. The wisdom in this book has perennial value for all those lucky enough to come upon it.
