My Master Is My Self is the compelling story of one man's single-hearted dedication to the discovery of the truth and the profound spiritual realization that irrevocably transformed his life. It begins with an intimate account of the meeting between Andrew Cohen and the then little known Indian teacher H.W.L. Poonja, which catapulted the author into an explosive spiritual awakening. As this extraordinary love story between teacher and student unfolds, the diaries and letters that compose this book go on to chronicle the events that ensued in Andrew's life during the next three years, describing the evolution of his understanding and how his own teaching began. Regarded as a modern spiritual classic, My Master Is My Self portrays with captivating passion the unfolding of a remarkable awakening and the birth of a profound spiritual teaching.

From the Publisher:

What follows is the story of an extraordinary meeting. A meeting that occurred beyond time and that revealed a wisdom so deep that it dares even the most open-minded to suspend all ideas about what is real and what is true just to begin to let it in. It is the story of a love so profound that it pierces the illusion of separation and explodes the vast expanse of beginningless and endless freedom that wants only to be discovered by an innocent heart. This is a meeting that is dreamt of by many but one that few ever have the good fortune to experience, defying the limits of what most believe possible. Yet the dairies and letters that compose this story attest to the fact that it did indeed occur. My Master Is My Self chronicles the meeting between Andrew Cohen and his last teacher H.W.L. Poonja, and the events that unfolded in Andrew's life over the three years that followed. An intimate, first-hand account of a profound awakening is rare. And it is even more rare when such an account is articulated in a way that conveys not just the experience itself, but the depth of understanding that arose from it. This is what marks My Master Is My Self as such an unusual work.

From the Back Cover:

"Our union began with the clear seeing of the fact that this 'knowledge' or understanding had nothing to do with the individuals involved. It was, and only could be, once again: the SELF NATURE. Not he and not I. Only ONE SELF. When this understanding is clear it sets the basis for a deep and profound meeting of two individualsin the realization that they, as separate entities, do not have any separate existence. They are both only manifestations of one being - one source. In the true seeing of this Fact, this Truth, there will be an absolutely Free and beautiful dance of the Self with the Self. A true union in emptiness. TRUE TEACHING which ultimately can only be the perception in silence of ourBEING."
