Silence Of The Heart

After you try all possible ‘techniques’ and ‘practices’ and realise that the experiences achieved through them are only at body and mind level and are only temporary, and looking for where to go next, come to this book! Relieves you of all the burden!

So many nice insights about life. Follow the book and be liberated

While reading the book in a silent ambiance, you feel a kind of healing and do meditation with open eyes. Such a tremendous book; there is no need to google other books to know about self-inquiry. This is highly worthy of reaching a high dimension in your life by just being empty and dissolving in silence.

this is it. this is the book. if you are on a spiritual journey, you should definitely read this one. it’s a gem of a book. it really makes you feel so much better and super comforting and enlightening at all the same time.

Nice book !! The content is GREAT but somewhat contradictory in starting chapters and the reader may feel slightly confused,(later chapters are good).. For example the author says that you have no mind and yet you have to destroy the mind , all spiritual practices are useless and yet at the same time they are necessary for you to reach a point where you can realize that truth and many more... It took me a while to realize that whatever the author says is true as he is speaking from experience and it depends from what level you are speaking... Final verdict: Definitely recommended to all sincere spiritual seekers !!

Very good book...just read it guys... Robert adam is the unsung hero

Robert Adams is the forgotten jnani of America... there's no other way to say it. He spent some time at Ramana's ashram WITH Ramana, and then disappeared. But he did give satsang to a small group of people and became quite well-known in a small circle. Just google him and you can hear (no video) literally dozens, maybe hundreds of his satsangs. He sounds a bit like Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" and is a bit difficult to understand, so turn the volume up! He is truly a gem... and this book is his satsangs and discussions that have been organized into written form. By the way, you can download written transcripts of his satsangs too, so that you can follow along while listening. If you are serious about advaita, find his stuff and don't look back! And please click "Helpful" below... thanks!

Very well packed, quality print. This book can change your life !!

If you put Robert Adams’ teachings into practice, they can genuinely change the way you experience life. Through this book—and through recordings of his satsangs, which are widely available online (robert adam satsang)—he offers simple, direct guidance on how to suffer less and rest more deeply in peace. Central to his approach is self-inquiry, with questions such as “Who am I?”, “To whom do these thoughts arise?”, and “Who is aware of this?” He also emphasizes stillness, silence, and non-reaction—pointing out that when we react, we reinforce patterns and invite more of the same. Again and again, he reminds us that we are not the doer, but the knowing awareness in which all experience appears. Robert Adams’ teaching style is down-to-earth and accessible, even when pointing to profound truths. There has been some debate about aspects of his personal history, including whether he met Ramana Maharshi, but given the depth and clarity of his recorded talks and transcripts, this feels largely irrelevant. Several well-known non-dual teachers who studied with him continue to reference and honor his work. He acknowledged teachers such as Joel Goldsmith and Ramana Maharshi, and often recommended simple practices like quietly repeating phrases such as “Who am I?”, “I am He,” or “I am not the mind-body phenomenon.” He also encouraged not taking life too seriously, describing it as maya—a dream or illusion—and repeatedly emphasized the importance of remaining still. Above all, his core message is simple: take time to be quiet, allow the mind to settle, and rest as what you truly are. And if self-inquiry doesn’t resonate, he offered an equally clear alternative—letting go completely and surrendering everything to God.

I enjoy this book very much and do happy that it was delivered to me. Any issue was very quickly sorted out.

ここに辿り着いた人は福間さんの訳した「ラマナマハルシとの対話第3巻」を読んでいると思います。そこにロバートさんが紹介されているからです。1999年に山尾三省さん訳の「ラマナマハリシの教え」を読んで以来この系統の独学を20年ほどして初めて本書を購入しました。本書は現代アメリカ人向けのアメリカ人の覚者による小規模の講話（サットサンガ）の記録で、非常に分かりやすい面があります。内容は他の福間さんや柳田さんの訳本と重複しているところが多いのですが、やはり表現の仕方が異なります。現代の英語話者の覚者本人のその母国語での説明は、他と一線を画す判り易さがあります。私は、あまりの親しみやすさにびっくり大笑いしてしまいました。日本人にとっては、中学英語を学んでいれば辞書を引き引き理解は可能です。雰囲気と臨場感が生き生きと感じられ猛烈貴重です。繰り返しますが、覚者本人がその母国語で説明している生の記録なのです。ただし、少なくともラマナマハルシとの対話1巻2巻3巻やニサルガダッタマハラジ、プンジャジ等5冊くらいを読み終えていて基本的理解がある方が良いでしょう。万人向けではありません。 今は「あるがままに」「対話１，２，３」「IamThat」と共に常設辞書のように使っています。 私の場合、探究がかなりやり易くなりました。この本により、間違っていたところが修正されたからです。 もっと早く読んでおくべきでした。独学の遅さよ。

Silence of The Heart

Priceless. The perspective and writing style is very digestible and profound. The paper isn’t clear white and so these eyes need sunlight to read.
