 Yes—Ramesh S. Balsekar is often particularly striking if what you value is directness.

His teaching is essentially a very uncompromising form of nondual Advaita:

• There is no individual doer. Thoughts, decisions, actions and reactions arise as part of the total functioning of consciousness.
• Whatever happens is what is happening. He strongly emphasizes the acceptance of life exactly as it unfolds.
• The sense of personal authorship is the problem. “I am doing this” creates much of the psychological burden of guilt, pride, anxiety and regret.
• There is nothing to attain as an individual. Awakening isn’t presented primarily as acquiring a special state, but as seeing through the assumption of separate personal agency.
• Even the seeking is part of the unfolding. The apparent seeker and the search are themselves part of what is happening.

That can make Balsekar feel more radically direct than teachers who prescribe meditation, self-enquiry, energetic practices, ethical disciplines, or gradual stages.

His connection to Nisargadatta Maharaj is also important: Balsekar was a disciple of Nisargadatta and translated/interpreted many of his teachings. Ramesh S. Balsekar Nisargadatta Maharaj

One interesting feature of Balsekar is that he takes the apparent contradiction—“If there is no doer, why should I do anything?”—very seriously. His answer is essentially that the question itself arises within the functioning of life; there is no separate entity outside that functioning who needs to manufacture liberation.

So if by “direct” you mean he doesn’t give you much spiritual machinery to hide behind, I can understand exactly why his teaching resonates with you.

If you want, I can also explain Balsekar’s teaching in its most stripped-down form—perhaps 5–10 propositions—with no spiritual jargon.
