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’.

9. Hold on to the ‘I am’ to the exclusion

of everything else, the ‘I am’ in

movement creates the world, the ‘I am’

at peace becomes the Absolute.

Leave everything aside and just grab hold of the ‘I

am’. Just observe its power, its stirrings, and its

movements that created the world along with which

came all this turmoil and misery. Come back to the

‘I am’ and let the ‘I am’ be in the ‘I am’. Then it

becomes still and disappears, and then there is

peace for there is only the Absolute now.

10. Immortality is freedom from the
