Already Home presents teachings from sages of the stream of wisdom called Advaita. Advaita, a Sanskrit word that simply means 'not two', refers to an experience of nondualism, of unity between the experiencer and the object, when all sense of separation dissolves. Already Home shows how to welcome this practical ancient way of wisdom into our lives, using meditation and contemplation. Through themes such as the potentials and pitfalls of the spiritual path, you will discover the empowering insight that pervades Advaita: that we are in charge of our own enlightenment. As Ramana Maharshi says: Your happiness is always with you. Your bliss is always there. It cannot be anywhere else. There is always nowhere to go. You are already home. You are always already home.

Extracts from Already Home

Quieting Your Mind

Everything is in your mind, yet you are beyond your mind. When you know this, you feel truly alone. Once you have felt your aloneness, you realize that really you are everything.

All you need to do is quiet your mind. Do this by withdrawing your fascination from its contents. If you do this, everything else happens as it should. The sun, when it rises, brings light, warmth, and new life to the world. Likewise, in the light of easeful Self-awareness, your inner energies wake up and work miracles . . . without any effort on your part.

The Secret of Oneness

Beyond your usual awareness is a state of nonduality. In this place, there is no thinking, only pure being. How do you find this place? By looking for what unites you and me - love!

The divinity in you and the universal divinity, while appearing to be separate, are really one, seeking unity. I call this love. Love is seeing my Self in everyone I meet and everybody in me.
