Reflections Beyond the Mind: Meditations on Advaita Vedanta

Reflections Beyond the Mind: Meditations on Advaita Vedanta
By Om Joshi

What if the truth of who you are is already fully present-here and now, beneath every thought, every emotion, every effort to become?
In Reflections Beyond the Mind, Advaita teacher Om Joshi offers a luminous collection of sixty contemplative chapters that guide the reader into a direct encounter with the Self-pure, unchanging awareness beyond the mind, beyond the ego, and beyond all seeking.
This is not a book of philosophy, ritual, or technique. It is a mirror that reveals what cannot be taught but only recognised. Drawing from the nondual wisdom of the Upanishads and the radical clarity of Advaita Vedanta, each chapter begins with a succinct sutra-an insight distilled into a single sentence or two-followed by a rich commentary that unpacks the depth and implications of that truth. Together, these reflections gently dismantle the illusion of separation and return the reader to the ever-present reality of Being.
Om Joshi writes with warmth, simplicity, and a profound understanding of the spiritual path. He speaks not to the intellect, but to the silent knowing that lives in each of us. His words are a clear pointing away from effort and toward effortless recognition: you are already That which you seek.
Inside these pages, you will explore topics such as:

• The illusory nature of ego and thought
• The witnessing consciousness behind all experience
• The futility of seeking enlightenment as an object or state
• The dissolving of fear, suffering, and striving through insight
• The quiet joy of resting as the Self
• The simplicity of truth-and the end of spiritual becoming

Reflections Beyond the Mind is not a book to race through or analyse. It is a companion for stillness, a tool for inner inquiry, and a gateway into the peace that is always here when the noise of becoming falls away. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to nonduality, these teachings offer not more to do-but less to believe.
Read slowly. Let the words fall away. What remains is what you are.
