He held no degree and could not claim any special lineage... Modern day sage and teacher, Bill Lindley, encouraged everyone to go ahead and look for themselves, reinvent the spiritual wheel, and then, integrate one’s spiritual life into his or her everyday life. Known as Ahimsananda, Bill wrote Truth on the Run the last year of his life after being diagnosed with cancer. When writing these essays Bill demonstrated an urgency and single mindedness never seen in all the forty years he and his life partner were together. A fierce earnestness became his compass on a daily basis, as exemplified by his guru, Nisargadatta Maharaj. A rich account of his life experiences as a former Christian monk gone “too independent” easily guides the reader through religious tradition and difficult concepts such as non-duality.
