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, there is no other way out! Stay at it and you

shall see that this door is always open it was never

closed. Unless you revert and stay in the ‘I am’ for

a sufficiently long time you won’t come to know

this fact.

13. You have to be there before you can

say ‘I am’, the ‘I am’ is the root of all

appearance.

There definitely was a substratum on which this

knowledge ‘I am’ arose, it was a wordless feeling.

It was only when you learnt a language that you

could say ‘I am’. Along with the wordless ‘I am’

also came space and the world, so the ‘I am’ is at

the root of whatever you perceive.

14. The ‘I am’ is the permanent link in

the succession of events called life, be at

the link ‘I am’ only and go beyond it.

Conception, birth and infancy, these are the

dormant. Then is the spontaneous appearance of

the non-verbal feeling ‘I am’ around say three

‘I am’ is built a large structure of words, ideas and
