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 image is the famous Hubble Ultra-Deep Field.) We often demand miracles as proofs for the transcendental origin of the world; but in demanding so we are blind to the miracle in the fact of being and the act of demanding. Our mundane preoccupations eclipse the sense of wonder inherent in each moment and its … More The Parable of The Naked Man
When you invoke the name of God, when you remember him and think of him, know that you are not just entertaining an idea in the mind or an emotion in the heart. Your invocation makes God himself present. In thinking of God we intuit God himself. God as the Absolute and the Infinite, as … More Invocation of The Name
Adam and Eve took a bite from the tree…, and hence The Fall. Did they fall out? Fall in? Fall through? Fall short? Or Fallujah? No. They did fall: They fell asleep, dreaming of transgression and expulsion, of life and death, of losing that which cannot be lost. God is tearing his throat to wake … More The Real Fall
What is the human receptacle but a prism that refracts the pure light of the One into the rainbow of infinite divine possibilities, the phenomenal world! This world is lit and known with the light of a consciousness that comes from without and passes through within man. Where I am not, the world too is … More The Sole Dweller of The Void
The now is a whirling Dervish; it whirls and it worlds. The Dervish sees; the Dervish sees, A seeing that hides; a seeing that shows, A seeing that lets be; a seeing that lets go, One veils; one unveils, One is the farthest; one is the nearest, One is the eye; one is the I. … More The Ecstasy of Consciousness
The Art of Effortless Meditation We often approach meditation with a purely utilitarian mindset; we like the way it feels. But meditation, in both eastern and western traditions, wasn’t originally designed as a means of intoxication but rather as a window toward self-transcendence and unity with the Godhead. Meditation as medication, as is often used, … More How To Meditate
As the symphony is a whole emerging from the harmonious cooperation of parts each serving its proper function within the creative process, the violin’s melody is itself another whole emerging from the harmonious cooperation of the body parts of the violinist. The violinist is itself an orchestra. It is false to see the musician simply as … More The Metaphysics of The Orchestra
One of the favorites,
My father had a lot of classical music on cassettes and my older brother had just learnt about the fun of recording over them. He would take me with him, maybe to reduce his charges against the progressive values of The Enlightenment. He would put in a cassette and push the red record bottom; we … More I am Beethoven
Much of the seeking after truth fails because we seek it as a human beings seeking to find something. Truth is not something to be found or known in any human sense of the word. A man who seeks to find the truth is like a man who is searching his dream trying to find … More Aphorisms On The Knowledge of Truth
