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’.

am’. Persist on this focus or meditation on the ‘I

am’ till you drive it away into oblivion. If your

effort is sincere and earnest enough the ‘I am’ is

bound to disappear for that is its nemesis. Then

whatever remains is your True being or Self, call it

Eternity, the Absolute or’ Parabrahman’.

26. The knowledge ‘I am’ is the birth

principle, investigate it and you’ll finally

stabilize in the Absolute Parabrahman.

The knowledge ‘I am’ is the creator of everything,

it likes to assert itself again and again, it is the

sheer love of oneself for existence. It was inherent

in your parents and their parents and so on. It was

the ‘I am’ in your parents that was attracted

towards itself that lead to your procreation and the

‘I am’ therein. The ‘I am’ is the birth principle

abounding in nature and perpetuating itself all

over. Investigate or try to find out how the ‘I am’

came about on you and it will not only lead you but

get you stabilized in the Absolute.

27. All knowledge including the ‘I am’

is formless, throw out the ‘I am’ and stay

put in quietude.
