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’.

and destructible; the ‘I am’ depends on it for

expression. Thus the ‘I am’ being destructible and

dependant cannot be the reality which is

indestructible and independent. The feeling ‘I am’

is thus unreal and an illusion; whatever we see or

know is through the ‘I am’, thus it’s all an illusion

and unreal.

217. When Krishna says ‘I remember all

my past births’, he means the ‘I am’, the

fundamental feeling behind all births.

There is no ‘I am such and such’.

Krishna is the Absolute or the ‘Parabrahman’,

your true identity. In the Bhagwad Gita, Krishna

makes a statement where he says that he

remembers all his past births. This is implied to

mean that he remembers the ‘I am’, the birthprinciple,

in every birth and not that he was ‘so

and so’. The ‘I am’ appeared and disappeared on

him as the fundamental principle of all births, the

‘I am’ remained the same although the
