About the Book
As artificial intelligence advances at breakneck speed, Sri Vijay Anand draws on traditions like Śrī Vidyā and Advaita Vedānta to examine the divide between computation and true Consciousness (Sākṣī). Treating AI as a mirror reflecting the Self, the book explores how to preserve human dignity, wisdom, and inner stillness (Bindu) in an algorithm-driven world. Ultimately, it warns that the greatest danger is not machines becoming human, but human beings agreeing to become machines.
