From the guru of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Shri Ranjit Maharaj, a masterpiece of spiritual teachings from Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj. Contained within this book are newly revised editions of Amrut Laya - Volumes 1 and 2. Also contained within this book is the great work of distinction authored by Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj titled "Master Key to Self-Realization." Volume 1 of Amrut Laya is comprised of transcribed notes from 50 talks given by Siddharameshwar Maharaj on various themes from Dasbodh. Volume 2 of Amrut Laya consists of notes taken from 88 talks of Siddharameshwar Maharaj where he elaborates on various spiritual principles from three main classic texts; Dasbodh, Yogavasishtha and Eknathi Bhagawat. This text is a great treasure-house of teachings on Spiritual Enlightenment and Self-Knowledge. Siddharameshwar Maharaj gives expositions on many principles of Advaita Vedanta philosophy in a direct and simple language. He offers clear explanations on the nature of the Self [Atman] and Brahman, dispels ignorance with Knowledge [Jnana], and then instructs us to cast off even that Knowledge. Through the power of words Siddharameshwar Maharaj directs the reader to that indescribable Parabrahman which is our True Nature.
After his realization, Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj began teaching that in addition to the path of long arduous meditation which is often referred to as "The Ant's Way," one can attain Final Reality very quickly through the path of "The Bird's Way," which is the path primarily of listening to the teachings of the Sadguru, as well as utilizing the power of discrimination (Viveka), combined with thoughtfulness and investigation into one's True Nature (Vichara). This is the most direct path to realization. He said that it is through thinking that Ignorance has become firmly established in one's Consciousness, and it is through thinking that Ignorance can be completely dispelled. His instruction as to how this is done is explained thoroughly within the contents of this text. Truly fortunate are those who come across these teachings in their lifetime. It is the voice of the Supreme Self, Paramatman that is found here in these pages. Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj had many Self-Realized disciples. This book was originally written in the Marathi language by distinguished disciples of Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj with His approval. May the one reading these words attain the realization of the Final Reality with the aid of this text by the Grace of the Sadguru, who is your own True Self.
