She is a slave to the truth and has spent the last decade searching for it through the continuous practice of spirituality and an insatiable appetite for ancient scriptures. Some of her favourite texts of recent include the Upanishads, Buddhism, Kabbalist learnings, Guru Granth Sahib, Rumi, Yunus Emre. In this book she seeks to undo the curtains and reveal the mirror laying behind it.

Who will relate the experience? When there is no subject, the object also disappears – the banks disappear, only the river of experience remains. Knowledge is there, but the knower is not.
