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’.

so? It is the knowledge ‘I am’ investigating the ‘I
am’, all this that you are doing has the ‘I am’ in
the background. The ‘I am’ is the driving force
behind this entire undertaking; it desperately wants
to know what it is. As the understanding grows and
it sees itself in its true form, it realizes its falseness
and immediately disposes it off. This done, there is
nothing more left to be done, you are then in
Eternity.
178. The knowledge ‘I am’ is God, if
presently you are unable to understand it
then just worship it.
Despite of all your efforts, even after doing an
enormous amount of studies you are still unable to
understand the ‘I am’, then, what to do? Don’t get
disheartened, the Guru says there is a way out; to
begin with realize that the ‘Jnana Marga’ (path of
knowledge) is not for you. This realized, you must
now resort to the ‘Bhakti Marga’ (the path of
worship). And, what is to be worshipped? It is the
knowledge ‘I am’, which is the God in you.
Remember, both paths are complementary,
knowledge leads to worship and worship leads to
knowledge. It is only a question of individual
disposition as to what suits you, but either way you
will make it.
