I have read through the posts above, as they are most rewarding to revisit. Like that,
I am now re-visiting one of my favorite books by nisarga-datta maharāj¹ called I am That.
He lived the essence of the bhāgavad gītā. I never get tired of reading this book . He talks in simple terms.
It is rare that any śāstra-s are even quoted, as he is the embodiment of them.
This book changes one's view of one's practice and the ability to remain simple.
If there were just a few books I could take to a desert island, this would be one of them.
