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’.

192. The ‘I am’ happened and the world

was cooked up. Prior to that you did not

have the message ‘I am’, you existed,

but you did not know.

The ‘I am’ is the beginning and the end of

everything, it was with the appearance of the ‘I

am’ that this whole manifestation came into being.

They are just two small words but see what havoc

they have cooked up in the form of this world. And

the way the ‘I am’ has done all this is indeed

astonishing, for never a moment you believe that it

is all false and actually never came into being!

You, the Absolute are always there, ‘I am’ or no ‘I

am’, by the appearance of the ‘I am’ you only know

that ‘you are’.

193. In the infinite state, the ‘I am’ state is

temporary; don’t give up your true
