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’.

important question that is asked, is about the
appearance and disappearance of the ‘I am’.
The question is that did it occur through your
wanting or desiring? Was it a volitional process? If
you have correctly understood the ‘I am’ the
answer would be that it came and would go
spontaneously, on its own. This would strike a blow
to the belief you hold that you are ‘doer’ and may
even end it.
226. The ‘I am’ is the sole capital that you
have. Dwell on this and nothing else is
necessary.
The hallmark of the Guru’s teaching is its
simplicity. Very clearly he states that the
knowledge ‘I am’ is all that you have to bank on,
it’s the only capital you have. This legacy of the ‘I
am’ has come spontaneously, on its own, without
any effort on your part. Try to understand its
importance and use it the best you can. Just dwell
in the ‘I am’ and nothing else is required to be
done. Why so? It is because the rest would follow
on its own. On firmly dwelling in the ‘I am’, a time
comes when it gets pleased with you and releases
its stranglehold.
