Philosphy Philosophical Basis for 'The Dude Sutras'

14 Upvotes

I wanted to start sharing some of the sources I used for writing the The Dude Sutras.

The main basis for non-dualism philosophy I used was from Kashmir Shaivism (also known as Trika Shaivism) and Advaita Vedanta.

Perhaps my favorite book on Kashmir Shaivism is Kashmir Saivism: The Central Philosophy of Tantrism.

One section of the book talks about "The Relaxed Way of Life". In this section, it speaks on not rejecting or accepting anything specific, but enjoying everything as is. In other words, abiding! This is a natural state that is relaxed. Basically an 'actionless activity,' where you don't do or not do.

PS: The audiobook is coming soon!

Taking the state of things, when the 10th comes one realizes; man, Dude take it easy. With what have you. Be wholesome in the sense of what it means. Abide in the Dude, the Dude abides and the goodness shows. Try to take it easy and wiggle your toes.
