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’.

illusion as body, friend when taking out
of the illusion as body.
When the sense or feeling ‘I am’ appeared on you
it duped you into believing that you are the body
and later on you are so and so. It strengthened the
illusion all the more as time went by and thus
began all the turmoil and suffering, in this sense it
is your foe. But now the Guru tells you to come
back to the ‘I am’, understand it, stay there, make
friends with it or rather make it your guide, God or
Guru. Doing so the ‘I am’ shall help you break the
illusion and it will itself lead you to the source.

knowledge is the ‘I am’, be attentive to
the ‘I am’, once you understand it, you
are apart from it.
Whatever maybe the volume of knowledge it has to
begin with the primary knowledge or concept ‘I
am’. The ‘I am’ is the one, and then two, three,
