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’.

207. The body identity cannot get this

knowledge, the knowledge ‘I am’ must

get this knowledge; when knowledge

abides in knowledge there is

transcendence of knowledge.

If you sit for meditation with the identification that

‘I am so and so meditating’ there is no chance that

you would be able to become one with the ‘I am’.

All external links have to be totally severed and

only the ‘I am’ should remain devoid of the body

idea. It should be the ‘I am’ in its utmost purity, it

was in its utmost purity when it just arose, that is

why the necessity to revert and recapture that

nascent ‘I am’. Do this repeatedly till you stabilize

in that ‘I am’ that is without words, you have been

through that phase, so it is only a question of

application and endurance. When the knowledge ‘I
