Existential Pointers to Enlightenment
Do a simple exercise. Point your index finger to an object like a picture on
a wall. Now look at your index finger keeping all other fingers closed. After having looked at the finger, now look at the object it is pointing to. Look without moving your neck. Continue looking sometimes at your finger and sometimes at the object.

Was it difficult? No. Knowing the Truth is easier. This book will help in pointing out the Truth to you – the Final Truth which can never be told.

The question now arises – “If the Truth cannot be told, then how can one attain it?” It can be pointed to. All great saints have done so. Buddha, Guru Nanak, Jesus Christ, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Ramana Maharishi, Kabir, Dhyaneshwar… all of them knew that the Truth cannot be expressed in words, but pointers can definitely given to them.

This book is filled with such stories, analogies and anecdotes as pointers to Enlightenment. It is a compilation from the discourses of Sirshree for seekers with an open mind. For an open minded seeker thirsty for the Truth a little contemplation can lead to the Experience of the Truth.

The book is divided into four parts that do not leave things just at pointers. It also provides indications to Self-Expression that follows the Experience of the Truth.

The Existential Experience (The Self and the world)
The Existential Practice (Seva and Sadhana)
The Existential Path (The Guru and His Guidance)
The Existential Key (The next steps)
