Ripples on the surface of Being is an interview by Andrew Cohen, the founder of "What is enlightenment". This conversation discusses Eckhart's life and his teachings. I find this interview amazing because of the quality of questioning and the lucidity and authoritativeness of the answers. The title of this interview has been picked up from a response to a question on whether Eckhart Tolle perceives the world as real or unreal.
Recently I purchased a copy of the Yoga Vaasishtam, an authoritative work by the Sage Vasishta, and found in one of the stanzas, wherein the Sage has replied that the world appears to him like "Ripples on the surface of the Ocean". I guess the non-dual state as described by the Sage and Eckhart Tolle do seem similar, though Eckhart Tolle time and again reiterates the inadequacy of words to express the state of Being.
