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’.

179. If you like it, take the ‘I am’ as your
‘prarabdha’ (destiny), become one with
it, then you can transcend it.
Your destiny worries you; will I be successful in
life? Will I become this or that? Will I have a
serious illness? And the fear and manner of death
is always lurking there in the background. But look
what the Guru says which is something not only
astonishing but rewarding as well, it puts you out
of all this bundle of worries and apprehension.
Why not take knowledge ‘I am’ to be your destiny?
I will become the ‘I am’ only and nothing else –
that is my destiny. Abide in the ‘I am’ only,
meditate on the ‘I am’ only, day in and day out it is
the ‘I am’ only, everywhere and at all times. What
will happen on the acceptance of the ‘I am’ as your
destiny? You would transcend it and be out of the
clutches of birth and death, which is the ultimate
reward you can ever think of.
180. Along with the knowledge ‘I am’
appears the space and world. When the
knowledge ‘I am’ sets the world is
liquidated.
