The Art of Disappearance in the GREATEST Story Ever Told

Dissolving the ego is imperative on the spiritual path, especially if we are serious about enlightenment. But the path of dissolving the ego is an uncomfortable commitment a spiritual aspirant must make if one is to know true liberation. The ancient text of the Ashtavakara Gita explores the art of disappearance. The text conveys the beauty, depth, and simplicity of the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the most influential of the Hindu dharmic systems. The Ashtavakra Gita is one of a few texts that is serious about going beyond everything, including the existence of the ego, to the other shore of the clear space of awareness where Atman is truly Brahman.
