Are you interested in Advaita and want to become enlightened? How should you go about it? What will happen if you do? How can you know what works and what doesn’t? In particular, how should you go about finding a teacher? What books should you read? Author Dennis Waite answers all these questions and more, having communicated with many teachers and seekers over the past 25 years, accumulated around 1500 books on Advaita, and written more than 10 books himself. In these pages, you will learn how to identify false teachers by spotting irrelevance, pitfalls, fallacies, and mystical /mumbo jumbo/. You will be warned against grandiose marketing claims, spiritual catchphrases, unclear language and poetry, and why you should be wary of various transcriptions and translations. For instance, the styles of Neo-Vedanta, Neo-Advaita, Direct Path, and /satsang/, in general, are compared with the original traditional teaching, and the relative values of scriptures, psychology, social media, and even AI are investigated. An attempt has been made to research all living teachers and organizations that claim to be teaching Non-Duality in the West and establish whether it is really Advaita. Do they help you to seek the Self or are they simply self-seeking?

Praise for: A-U-M: Awakening to Reality I am writing this to congratulate and thank you for your books on Advaita, especially the latest one, AUM on the Mandukya Karika, which I am reading now. You write with clarity and insight and authenticity. I first read 'The Book of One' some time back and enjoyed it greatly. Recently I read ‘Path through the Jungle’, which clarified what genuine traditional Advaita is, in contrast to the teachings of some satsang/direct path type of teachers. This I felt was timely and helpful. - Swami Sarvapriyananda, Vedanta Society (a monk of the Ramakrishna Mission, at present living in the monastery at the Vedanta Society of Southern California, Hollywood, Los Angeles)
Following an education in Chemistry, Dennis Waite worked in computing for the next 30 years.

It was published in 2003, extensively revised and republished in 2010.
