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’.

people, ideas and so forth everything else has been

changing and is inferential but the ‘I am’ remained

and has stood throughout this turbulence. And

what would happen when this ‘I am’ goes? What

would remain? The hint is now more emphatic on

something beyond the ‘I am’, the Absolute.

7. Give all you attention to the ‘I am’,

which is timeless presence, the ‘I am’

applies to all, come back to it repeatedly.

Use your memory to go back in time to the stage

when you just came to know that ‘you are’ without

words. Did you have a sense of time then? Did you

know who you are or who are your parents? Did

you know where you were geographically located?

You knew none of these, it was a timeless presence,

you did of course know space which came with the

‘I am’ but not time and this timeless presence

applies to all. Come back to this timeless and

wordless ‘I am’ again and again.

8. Hang on to the ‘I am’ and go beyond

it, without the ‘I am’ you are at peace

and happy.

Right now you have this ‘I am’, hang on to it, it is

the only means you have to go beyond, and there is
