The Real is Unknowable, the Knowable is Unreal

This collection of writings from one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject of Advaita, the timeless teaching of non-duality, is divided into three parts: Reflections, Interchanges, and Essays. In Reflections, Robert Powell comments on some of humankind’s most timeless curiosities and questions. Interchanges is set up as a question and answer session between Robert Powell and an imagined visitor in a dialogue that evokes Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Essays comprises eight essays, one of which is the title essay of the book.
