Description: The book fulfils the long- felt need of Sri Anandamayi Mil's philosophy. It is based upon the most authentic sources-the revelations that occurred spontaneously in the life of Sri Mil and the answers she gave in response to the questions put before Her.

Ultimate Reality, according to Sri Anandamayi Mil is an 'Absolute Identity' - a totality, which denies or excludes nothing. This absoluteness of totality in Her life, was reached and realised not by 'negation' but by 'assertion' . moment to moment and just because of this we find that Her every answer turns to one singular theme- the One, the One who is All.

Sri Anandamayi Mil does not see any contradiction in One and Many, in Duality and Non-duality, in Existence and Non-existence, in Consciousness and Unconsciousness, in Bliss and Non=bliss and all such antinomies. All antinomies according to Her are the expressions of the ONE who, in the words of Sri Mil 'is everything yet nothing; and nothing yet everything' .

The One of which She speaks is the highest synthesis of all contradictions. It is not a dialectical or a thought-of conclusion but is a fact which can be experienced by each seeker of Truth for himself when he reaches the highest realm of Reality. This we may call the 'transcendental unity' of Reality which is at once one and beyond everything.

The absolute cognition philosophy of Sri Anandamayi Mil stands for such UNITY. It is this Unity of Truth which gives a real basis to humanism. And in the realisation of this Oneness lies the real solution of the humanitarian and social problems which the modern society is facing today. -- from publisher
