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’.

trapped in. Most of us are so deeply enmeshed in
this world that there is no time to even think of all
this. Only those who are sensitive and observant or
have faced a crisis in life makes one realize the
futility of it all. Thus begins the quest of your true
identity and the meaning of life. The Guru’s advice
is very simple, you have to first understand the ‘I
am’ as the primary concept and root of all the
trouble. Then you have to sit quietly and become
one with knowledge ‘I am’, as you do so you would
lose all concern with the world. Then, quite
spontaneously, if you have been earnest in your
abidance, the ‘I am’ would drop off leaving you
free as the Absolute.
49. Putting aside everything, stabilize in
the ‘I am’ - as you continue with this
practice – in the process you will
transcend the ‘I am’.
Just throw aside everything that does not go with
the ‘I am’, get your self firmly established there.
Again and again, repeatedly and tirelessly you
have to continue with the practice of getting
stabilized in the ‘I am’. Then, at some moment,
when the God ‘I am’ is pleased with you, he will
release his stranglehold and you would transcend
it and become the Absolute.
