Extreme – thats how seasoned Advaita buffs would term the KarlRenz brand of Advaita, suggesting compromise as an option. Howeverthe option of compromising or not itself gets burnt out in theuntamed fire of Karls living words.

I would rather kill myself than bullshit myself, says Karl,scoffing at requests to be nice or accommodating to listenersgasping for survival. By neither confirming nor destroying coreideas of mind, no-mind, presence, absence, real, unreal, he ends upmesmerising the intellect. Oxy-moron Karl merrily hums his song ofirrelevance without intention of teaching, sharing or clarifying -whatever. Care-freeness itself in action.

Paradoxes unlimited, neti-neti: negation-negation, then negationof the negator and finally negation of negation itself. In that,there is no finally. This seemingly is the melody of Karls Song ofIrrelevance – meditation of what you are.

I dont talk to you, he says. Relevance seekers can eat theirhearts out. Irrelevance pervades here – with the flavourlessflavour of nobody needing to grasp anything! And the effect? Smilesand chuckles unlimited! Welcome to this menu of indigestible talks – an assortment oftalks from Coimbatore, India and KohSamui, Thailand. You may savourthem, even chew on them, but digesting them could be hazardous….they could well end up digesting you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Karl Renz

Mind loves new concepts for they provide a cosy terra firma - a comfortable landing place. Of late 'Peace' has been one of the famous landing places for spiritual seekers. There are infinite techniques of how to be at peace with oneself... Meditation... celebration... renunciation... Sure enough, Karl comes around questioning the one who wants to be in peace With compelling insights, the one looking for peace is then seen in a new light... as the source of misery.  Karl's koan-like expressions are truly mind-bending - the resultant frustration of the mind tripping over its own concepts is a telltale sign of the one trying to understand. What it all boils down to is this: when the most famous idea of being at peace is challenged - what remains? Let's just say that the one trying to be peaceful is in for a fine round of walloping!
