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’.

150. Once you become the ‘I am’ it will
reveal all the knowledge and you need
not go to anybody.
The whole approach of the Guru towards anybody
who comes to him is: firstly, to make him
understand what the ‘I am’ is and secondly, to tell
him to abide in the ‘I am’ till he becomes the ‘I
am’. That is all that he does, the Guru’s job is
done, the rest is up to the seeker, his success totally
depending on how correctly he has understood the

(practice) or not. The Guru will of course leave no
stone unturned in imparting the teaching, provided

him.
151. The primary concept ‘I am’ appears
spontaneously and is the source of all
