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’.

knowledge ‘I am’ and use it to meditate on itself.

When the knowledge ‘I am’ meditates on itself for a

reasonable amount of time, finally, only the ‘I am’

remains and nothing else. This is the highest state

of the knowledge ‘I am’ in body form (also called

the ‘Turiya’ or the fourth). On accepting and

abiding in the ‘I am’ there is no question of rebirth.

204. The ‘I am’ is an advertisement of the

Absolute, an illusion, temporary, the one

who knows this knows the eternal

principle.

The ‘I am’, in its purest and wordless form is a

hoarding or advertisement of the Absolute or the

‘Parabrahman’. It is has a moment of appearance

and a moment of disappearance, it is always

temporary and like a dream, it’s an illusion. In

order to understand this nature of the ‘I am’ one
