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’.

story.
When you dwell in the ‘I am’ without words and if
you recollect it correctly, you would feel the
freedom and joy that you felt during that nascent
phase of the ‘I am’. At that time you did not know
anything at all but the ‘I am’ and you danced
around in joy with it, completely carefree and

conditioning and the development of the verbal ‘I

destiny is the ‘I am’ beyond the body, when you
dwell in it, it will itself reveal its story.

the disappearance of ‘I amness’.
The Guru is revealing a secret that is of such a
tremendous importance, that only an advanced
seeker, who has spent a considerable amount of
