The Broken Tusk: Seeing through the lens of Vedanta

This is not a book about Vedanta. It is a book through Vedanta-a way of seeing, a way of being. These essays arise not from theory, but from lived inquiry: the sometimes jarring collision between ancient truth and modern life. Here, samsara is found in traffic jams and warehouse stores; the Self is glimpsed not on mountaintops, but in the quiet undoing of assumptions.

Woven from insight and reflection, The Broken Tusk is less a treatise than a meditation-a collection of field notes from one who has stared into the mirror of consciousness and dared to ask what is real. These are not answers handed down, but truths unearthed. Not abstractions, but the fragrance of understanding lived.

Excerpts from The Broken Tusk:

"The mind is like a home appliance that rattles when it's running... Nothing in this world operates without making a little noise."

"The wise know this world to be like the shifting sands of time... We ride out events, relationships, and the comings and goings of life anchored in the one thing that is unchanging, limitless, and eternal."

"Each of us-celebrities, politicians, spiritual leaders included-lives in a bubble... The truth is that which remains even after the bubble has burst."
