Dissolving Spiritual Confusion was written when the devotee in Shirishkumar Murthy witnessed remarkable changes in the visitors' attitude after meeting Ramesh Balsekar. In some cases, old concepts were replaced by new ones. In some, there were tears of gratitude. In yet others, the frown of confusion gave way, in due course, to a broad smile. An Indian seeker who had exclaimed, "What nonsense!" the first time he heard Ramesh's teaching, ended up becoming an ardent devotee.

It was a wonder to see how the intellectual understanding slowly percolated to the heart. The seeker, who had started off brimming with questions, became silent and receptive. The resonance between the Guru and the disciple, happening gracefully, would delight quite a few visitors. It was known that once this happens to the seeker, he stops expecting anything from anybody...including God.

No other miracle happened at Ramesh's place.

The Impact was written, from the notes taken during the morning Satsangs, when my Guru's wife was in the hospital. He would conduct the morning Satsangs and later on visit his wife in the hospital. This was his routine then. Some time after the book came out he told me to stop taking notes and began writing again - after a gap of two years. Some of the best books, deeply connecting Advaita to one's daily living, without the use of any spiritual jargon, came forth.

Wayne (Liquorman) said he completed this book in one sitting because he couldn't put it down. Sharda, my Guru's wife, read the book and was all smiles because deep down she knew that her husband was not an ordinary banker. On the other hand, an Australian lady, who read the book, threw it out of the window. She said she was afraid to accept that she was merely an object.

Ramesh has repeatedly said, "Whatever any Sage has said is only a concept and not the Truth." He says in this book - ""You are not the doer' is the concept thrown at you. You will have to find out if it is true from your own experience."
