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.
