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’.

Later comes the verbal ‘I am’ your gathering of

concepts and thus begins the mind-flow. Now

revert this mind-flow, come to the verbal ‘I am’

and go past it and stabilize in the non-verbal ‘I

am’. In this process you shall realize that you are

none of these.

52. Presently you are sustaining the

memory ‘I am’, you are not that ‘I am’,

you are the Absolute prior to that ‘I am’.

For the continuance of your entire life as an

individual you have to sustain the memory ‘I am’

and that is what you are exactly doing, although

you may not be aware of it. Now that it has been

pointed out to you by the Guru come to the ‘I am’

and see how it has duped you into believing

something that you are not! You are not the ‘I am’

but much before it – the Absolute! Something that

you have always been and would always be, it has

just missed your attention. Grasp this True Being

and forget about everything else.

53. You feel the ‘I am’ due to the five

elements and three qualities, they gone,

the ‘I am’ goes, but you are still there.
