Duality & Non-Duality

Alberto Martín has spent many years studying and practicing Christianity, Sufism, Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta (in that sequence) plus, at one time, the religion of the Crows (a native tribe of N. America). “For me, it has been universalism all along ever since I read Plato when I was 15 years old. Lately my attention has been focused on Shankara’s Advaita Vedanta and non-duality.”

For this author, Plato and Shankara say practically all that can be said about reality and the way towards its assimilation and exemplification.

In this work Martín answers many of the probing questions anyone of us is led to ask along our lives.

Alberto M. Garcia practiced as a general surgeon in Toronto, Canada. He also studied western philosophy at Toronto University. Philosophy, particularly Greek, has been a dominating interest for him. Later, it has been Hindu philosophy, particularly Advaita Vedanta and non-duality.

He is also the author of a book of poetry (2007), and another book in Spanish, Por el Camino de Santiago (2003), a sustained reflection on the spiritual path (the “inner journey”).
