From a review on Amazon:I'm now into my second reading of Nothing Personal, and I find every paragraph resonating more and more. Nirmala's humble yet constant redirection back to the nature of one's present experience is so skillfully woven into the fabric of this book that it never becomes boring or repetitive. What makes each chapter stand out is the lack of that overwhelmingly popular non-dual language, and instead practical invitations to really look into who and what we are, with a playful, exploratory, and relentless questioning.
Nirmala's simple and unassuming approach is delightful, and the book is nicely sectioned into both narrative explorations and dialogue, which really helps the reader to connect with the material.
I've read more Advaita and non-duality books than I care to admit- so many in fact that I have considered burning them all as a ritualistic expression of how they have simply become another aspect of the imaginative ME. There is no danger here, as Nirmala fully embodies Nisargadatta's famous adage, "Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two, my life flows". What is refreshing about Nirmala is he is fully conscious of the limits of absolutes and relatives, and instead continues to invite us to see the nature of our self illusion, while at the same time, celebrating it with an encompassing joy.
