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’.

There is no question of there being any experience
in the Absolute or the ‘Parabrahman’. All
experiences demand the necessity of duality in the
form of the experiencer (subject) and the
experienced (object). The Absolute is a non-dual
state, so who is to experience what? Moreover the
Absolute, does not require any experience or the
need to know that ‘it is’. By the spontaneous
appearance of the knowledge ‘I am’ it came to
know that ‘it is’, yet it doesn’t require the ‘I am’ at
all for it is complete in itself, devoid of any wants.
163. Become initiated into the
understanding of what I am expounding
to you; I am telling about the seed of

you.
When the Guru is confronted by a sincere seeker he
is very keen on imparting his knowledge to him,
