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’.

key to your redemption lies in realizing that this
original concept ‘I am’ is totally false and is the
culprit that has deceived you. Do away with it and
do not accept anything that does not go with your
developing the conviction that the ‘I am’ is
illusory.
63. Before you occurred to yourself as ‘I
am’ you were the highest - Parabrahman
– now, until the impurity of ‘I am the
body’ goes stay put in the ‘I am’
quietude.
You would have to apply your mind and go back to
the moment when you first came to know that ‘you
are’ or the ‘I am’ appeared on you. Now just wait
here…prior to this what were you? Recede
further…prior to conception what or where were
you? Nothing! That’s it! You were the highest, the
Absolute or the Parabrahman. It’s only this total
absence that doesn’t require anything, is formless,
free and above all. On this stateless state appeared
the ‘I am’ and it caught hold of the body and
believed ‘I am the body’. This very idea is an
impurity, do away with it and abide in the stillness
and silence of the pure ‘I am’ without words, only
then you stand a chance of reaching your true
identity.
