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’.

lost in the vast unknown.
You have to meditate on the knowledge ‘I am’ till
you develop a strong conviction that there is
nobody else but ‘me’ or ‘I am’ only and nothing
else. To get completely infused with the knowledge
‘I am’ is to enter the ‘Turiya’ or the fourth state
and this is non-dual devotion (‘advaita-bhakti’) at
its peak or highest. You should be totally immersed
in the worship of ‘I am’ to the extent that you
become the ‘I am’. And, what would happen on
doing this intense non-dual devotion? You will
vanish and be lost in the vast unknown and become
the Absolute.
225. Thoroughly investigate the
appearance and disappearance of the ‘I
am’ – did you desire it, or did it just
