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’.

(practice) is a must, there is no escape from it. The
one who follows the teaching of his Guru, and
earnestly meditates on the wordless ‘I am’, to him,
all in the realm of Consciousness would be
revealed. He would know how this Consciousness
came to be and how it is the Consciousness that is
the creator of everything. The ultimate revelation
would be that he is not the Consciousness at all,
but stands apart from it as the Absolute or
‘Parabrahman’.
186. Go anywhere but never forget that
the knowledge ‘I am’ is God. Day by
day by constant meditation this
conviction will grow.
You have spent some with the Guru, you have tried
to imbibe the teaching but you cannot stay with him
indefinitely. As you depart you ask for something to
live by and he tells you, wherever you may go,
never forget that the indwelling knowledge ‘I am’
in you is God. Practice is essential, gradually as
your practice grows in intensity and duration a day
would come when you would have the firm
conviction that the knowledge ‘I am, is God indeed.
Being steeped in the ‘I am’ all over you stand a
good chance of transcending it.
