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’.

conditioning takes over and you get fooled into
believing the ‘I am’ to be the body-mind, and lose
your stand point. You have to revert and come to
that wordless state of the ‘I am’, abide in it in
order to realize its temporary and false nature.
Then you have regained your standpoint as the
Absolute infinite which is as it is and would be
forever.
194. Catch hold of the ‘I am’ and all
obstacles will evaporate, you will be
beyond the realm of body-mind.
The Guru speaks from his own experience, he has
gone to great lengths to make you understand the ‘I
am’. The first thing that the Guru does to every
seeker that comes to him, is to make him
understand the ‘I am’. On the clarity of this
understanding is based the entire foundation of the
practice and progress. Unless you understand the
true importance of the ‘I am’ you will not pay heed
to it or make attempts to catch hold of it. The ‘I
am’ is impersonal and without name and form, the
moment you catch hold of it and become one with
it, you too achieve the same status. On becoming
one with the ‘I am’ you go beyond the realm of
body-mind.
