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’.

pure non-verbal ‘I am’ donned the guise of a
verbal ‘I am’ with the ‘so and so’ attached to it and
many, many more attachments followed. So you
can see that the primary concept was the ‘I am’, all
other concepts followed this primary one. Now,
after understanding and following the teachings of
the Guru you have realized that the ‘I am’ is false!
The root is cut! Thenceforth, whatever follows, can
it be anything else but mental entertainment?
152. This memory ‘I am’ is neither true
nor false, it is without these two
attributes. That memory of ‘beingness’
only appears to exist.
What is it by which continuity is maintained in your
life? It is the memory ‘I am’ or ‘beingness’, that
too, as ‘I am so and so living in this world’ and
‘being so and so I have these duties to perform’
Just see the trick that has been played by the ‘I am’
and it is neither true nor false but without these
attributes. This can be said about the ‘I am’ in
context of it being like a dream, in which, the fact
of its occurrence cannot be denied but its contents
are false! The ‘I am’ is an appearance on your true
being and will always only appear to exist, it can
never enter the realm of reality.
