Most of us on Advaita-L have spent months (if not years) reading, writing, and debating the subtleties of Advaita, Vedanta philosophy.
But how do you explain all that to a 10-year-old—without losing the depth? or a Novice.
That playful question became the seed for this project.
I tried an experiment with Google’s Notebook LM—an AI tool that can read only the texts you give it and then explain, summarize, and connect them.
In other words, it can “talk to your own posts.” or a ChatGPT just for your posts.
How It Works
I uploaded several of my Advaita-L articles—
the Tesla = Dhyฤna metaphor, the Objections and Responses, and the Measures of Meditation series—into a single notebook.
Notebook LM then allowed me to:
• Chat with the writings — ask questions like
“Why is meditation hard?” or “What does Guru’s Grace have to do with autonomy?”
• Summarize themes across multiple essays — tracing the journey from Arjuna’s doubt to AI’s self-learning.
• Visualize connections through its Mind Map view — watching “Grace” and “Autonomy” link like into one insight.
It felt like sitting with my own words and asking them to teach me back.
Try It Yourself
1️⃣ Visit the link above (or here: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/1919ffe3-655e-4522-8732-2dbf9f84ec23) and sign in with your Google account.
2️⃣ Open the Chat panel and try:
– “What connects Guru’s Grace and Self-Driving Awareness?”
– “Summarize the Tesla metaphor in one sentences so a 10-year-old could understand.”
3️⃣ Switch to Mind Map view to see how articles or concepts link together.

Not Just My Posts
This experiment isn’t limited to my writings.
Any member of Advaita-L can create a personal Notebook LM for their own articles, notes, or class materials.
You can:
– Upload your essays and visualize mind-maps showing how ideas connect.
– Listen to audio overviews while walking or exercising.
– Generate quizzes or study questions for your students.
– Keep a living record of inquiry that grows with you.
Notebook LM can serve as a gentle companion for svฤdhyฤya—self-study through reflection and dialogue.
What You Might Discover
– That your own posts form a teaching network you didn’t know existed.
– That AI, when grounded in Advaita, can mirror inquiry rather than replace it.
– And that even a 10-year-old version of you might finally nod and say,
“Oh—so that’s what Dhyฤna means!”
Closing Thought
Vedฤnta calls this process vicฤra—self-inquiry.
Notebook LM is simply a new mirror for that ancient practice,
helping us see our own words reflected with fresh simplicity.
Upload. Ask. Learn.
