I love metaphysics and nonduality! My passion is a scavenger hunt in western and eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions to find the commonalities among them. I have found that one and the same truth is expressed in all of them, and that they all differ only in the outward form of their expressions. My search is primarily inspired and shaped by Vedanta Metaphysics and Husserlian Phenomenology, particularly Husserl's method of Phenomenological Reduction which allows one to access the transcendental dimension of consciousness. I started my blog NOEMAYA in 2013 to share my findings and experiences. I also started a book series on nonduality and published my first book called "Nondual Perspectives on Quantum Physics" in 2014. I have a degree in theoretical physics from the University of Maryland and currently teach physics and mathematics to high school students.
The Story of Creation
17 Mar 2015
The story of creation is pretty simple if we don’t get caught up in the literal meaning of words. Here it is: God created man. Later He saw that the product is defective: Man forgets. God then announced a factory recall; we know it as revelation. The decision on our part is either to choose … More The Story of Creation
The Phenomenology of God
17 Mar 2015
It appears to us that we see the world because we are looking outwardly into it; but in truth what appears to be our seeing the world is us being seen by God. The seeing before us is not ours; it is His. Our seeing of the world is God’s seeing us. God is the … More The Phenomenology of God
The Grace to Embrace
15 Mar 2015
We must remind ourselves, those of us practicing religion as a means of salvation rather than welfare, that the spiritual life, the life of God, is about God and not us. That we complain so often of our imperfections and the subsequent suffering is a misunderstanding of religion. Perhaps we think that spiritual life is … More The Grace to Embrace
A Precious Book
15 Mar 2015
The Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is a gem, a must read, for people with even the slightest interest in the esoteric dimension of religions, any religion. It is a lucid presentation of exalting and inspiring quotes from mystics and saints throughout history. I believe it is … More A Precious Book
The Immortal One
12 Mar 2015
Two simple propositions, taken from Vedantic philosophy, summarize the whole of truth and the way to attain it. One is from the verse 2:16 of Bhagavad Gita and the other is from Upanishads: 1) The Real cannot not be; the unreal cannot be. 2) That which begins must end. We needed nothing more if we … More The Immortal One
The Shrouding Cover Called Human
10 Mar 2015
*A must read for the contemplative seeker. The lives that we live in our everyday world are lived in toto with that world, i.e., the world, as we understand it, is part of what makes us who we think we are; and, conversely, the world is only what it is (what we think it is) … More The Shrouding Cover Called Human
The Secret of The Veil
10 Mar 2015
Deep deep inside me is sitting a naked man. Though I am in space He is not; though I am in time He is not. In this world I may be a man but in reality I am just His idea. I live this life and He lives me. The man you may know in … More The Secret of The Veil
Fallen Love
9 Mar 2015
When I see you, when I lose myself to the irresistible sight of your eyes, to that evergreen noema, I like to light a cigarette and go back to Heidegger, I like to throw myself into that inexpressible abyss of rootless existence, into Dostoevsky’s night walks in Saint Petersburg, into Andrei Tarkovsky’s long shots and … More Fallen Love
The Cloak of Religious Zeal
9 Mar 2015
Many a times I thought how can one explain to the critics of religion that what lies at the heart of religion, the inward truth of which religion is only an outward expression, has nothing to do with the heinous acts done under a cloak of religious zeal, that such acts are of men oblivious … More The Cloak of Religious Zeal
