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’.

33. When this concept ‘I am’ departs
there would be no memory left that ‘I
was’ and ‘I had’ those experiences, the
very memory will be erased.
The knowledge ‘I am’ is the very seed of memory
and all information functions through it, it forms
the basis of the mind. It is bound to tire out and
hence there is sleep otherwise you would die if you
don’t sleep. But sleep is not the complete departure
of the ‘I am’ it’s only held in abeyance and after
sleep it gets refreshed and starts its activity again
maintaining the continuity. No wonder if your
name is called aloud in sleep you wake up and
respond saying ‘that’s me’! Physical death is the
total departure of the ‘I am’ and nothing is
retained. For the ‘Realized One’ who has
transcended the ‘I am’, memory and the ‘I am’ are
available to him he may or may not use them, they
are not ‘lodged’ in him anymore. Only the
‘Realized One’ can understand this state.
34. With the arrival of the primary
concept ‘I am’, time began, with its
departure time would end; you the
Absolute are not the primary concept ‘I
am’.
