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’.

This subtle principle ‘I am’ which is subtler than
the mind has appeared on your True state, After it
appeared it remained in a pure state for some time
and then began the piling up of words, language
and concepts. The ‘I am’ was now verbal and
identified itself with body, you became ‘so and so’
living in this world as a person. Your mind
developed and became a workshop of mischief, but
the root cause was the ‘I am’. Now you have
reverted and come back to that ‘I am’, the primary
mischief monger, you meditate on it and realize its
falseness and it disappears. You have now
transcended the ‘I am’ so where is the question of
any mischief?
42. Whatever you try to become that is
not you, before even the words ‘I am’
were said, that is you.

indulging in or have been conditioned to indulge in

name, fame and what not! It’s quite unnatural; you
are trying to become what you are not. You are
even before you could say or feel the ‘I am’, this
feeling ‘I am’ has appeared on your True state and
