In the profound and transformative work "I AM I, I AM ALL THERE IS," Broto Banerjee presents a modern introduction to Ātmavedānta, a philosophical synthesis of Advaita Vedānta, Buddhism, and Tagorean thought. This book invites seekers of Truth to embark on a journey of self-realization, stripping away the "superimpositions" of the ego and the body to discover the unchanging, non-dual "I" that pervades every atom of the universe. Drawing upon the core wisdom of the principal Upanishads, the Bhagavat Gītā, and the Ashtāvakra Samhitā, Banerjee explores the paradoxical nature of the Self—unmoving yet swifter than the mind, inside all yet outside all. Through practical methods like Neti Neti ("Not this, Not that") and the differentiation of the "Seer" from the "Seen," the author guides readers toward the ultimate realization: Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art). Far from preaching a life of passive withdrawal, this book advocates for "ecstatic living" through action that is rooted in renunciation and the sight of the Self in all beings. It is a powerful call to shatter the "fake mirror of temporary I-ness" and dissolve into the supreme, eternal reality: "I am I".
