Nisargadatta_Gita
I found the talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj to be highly penetrating and many things that were usually vague became quite clear. It was just like the clouds clearing away leaving a perfectly blue spotless sky. After ‘I Am That’ by Maurice Frydman nine more books followed that covered almost all the talks, these books were: 1. Edited by Jean Dunn: Seeds of Consciousness, Prior to Consciousness and Consciousness and the Absolute. 2. Edited by Robert Powell: The Experience of Nothingness, The Nectar of Immortality and The Ultimate Medicine. 3. Edited Maria Jory: Beyond Freedom 4. E-book,Created by Vijay Deshpande and edited by me: I am Unborn. 5. Mark West’s: Gleanings from Nisargadatta. Throughout all these books the ‘I am’ theme was highly pre-dominant, so in the first phase I began compiling all the ‘I am’ quotes and this took quite some time. In all, these quotes were 572 in number of which 521 are available as an e-book at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/961481/I-AM-The-complete-I-AM-quotes-of-Sri- Nisargadatta-Maharaj The last 51 from Mark West’s book I could manage to procure very late but they have been included when I began preparing the text of ‘The Nisargadatta Gita’.

society. All these appendages on the ‘I am’ maybe
of some value in your day to day living but if your
goal or quest is for eternity, then they are
impediments. You will have to separate them from
the ‘I am’ and just keep in mind your sense of
‘presence’ or the feeling ‘I am’.
4. Only the ‘I am’ is certain, it’s
impersonal, all knowledge stems from it,
it’s the root, hold on to it and let all else
go.
Right from the day you came know that ‘you are’ to
this day you still know that ‘you are’. All add-ons
have come and gone are transient but the
fundamental ‘I am’ has remained unchanged and is
the only certainty. This ‘I am’ is impersonal, it’s
common to everybody and wordless, the moment
you came know that ‘you are’ you did not know
any words or language, which came later. Based
on this non-verbal ‘I am’ you could later on say
verbally ‘I am’ in whatever language you were
taught. From this small minuscule ‘I am’ further
knowledge grew leaps and bounds to gigantic
proportions. So all knowledge stems from the ‘I
am’, it is very fundamental, the base, the origin, the
root of everything. You have to hold on to this ‘I
am’ and let everything else go.
