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’.

bound and never ever come close to the Reality.
The knowledge ‘I am’ is the closest to the Reality,
so understand and abide in it.
229. The first step is to go and dwell in
the ‘I am’. From there you go beyond
consciousness and no-consciousness to
the infinite Absolute which is the
permanent state.
After understanding the ‘I am’, the first step is to

putting the body idea completely away. See the ‘I
am’ in its wordless purity and abide there for a
sufficiently long time. When you do so, a moment

‘I am’ and no-consciousness or ‘I am not’. When
this happens you would merge in your true nature,
the Absolute, which is a permanent state.
