During his visit to southern India, Emmanuel Sorensen was acknowledged by the sage Ramana Maharshi as a “rare-born mystic.” On Emmanuel’s third visit to Ramana in 1940, as he sat in quiet meditation, he perceived a special radiance directed at him. Out of the silence, he received a telepathic message from Ramana consisting of five English words: “We Are Always Aware Sunyata.” Emmanuel accepted these words as a form of recognition, initiation, mantra, and his new name. From then on, he referred to himself and his dwelling as Sunyata, which he interpreted as “full solid emptiness.”

“Adyashanti writes: “Sunyata was the rarest of incarnations. A naturally born enlightened being of singular uniqueness and inventiveness. The story of his life is itself a profound spiritual teaching and a living example of how awakened spirit moves through the challenges of life. This is one of the best books on authentic enlightenment that you will ever read.”
