In later life Adams held [satsang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsang "Satsang") with a small group of devotees in California.  He mainly advocated the path of [[Jnana Yoga]] with an emphasis on the practice of [self-enquiry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-enquiry "Self-enquiry"). Adams' teachings were not well known in his lifetime, but have since been widely circulated amongst those investigating the philosophy of Advaita and by the Western devotees of Bhagavan [[RAI'S NOTES/Teachers/Sri Ramana Maharshi]]. A book of his teachings, 'Silence of the Heart: Dialogues with Robert Adams' was published in 199. A link to a PDF version of the book is provided below.
