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’.

‘Parabrahman’ right now! You can even become it
right now by simply focusing your attention on the
‘I am’. The moment you do so you stand apart from
the ‘I am’ as a witness to it, now who is this
witness?
66. Who has the knowledge ‘I am’?
Somebody in you knows the knowledge
‘I am’, ‘you are’, who is it?
As you stay focused on the ‘I am,’ it would occur to
you that who is watching the ‘I am’? There has to
be something in you that knows the ‘I am’ or that
‘you are’. How come that ‘you were not’ and now
‘you are’? This transition from ‘I am not’ to ‘I am’,
how did it occur? Was there any volition in it or
did it occur spontaneously? Who is it that knows
this appearance and disappearance of ‘I am’?
67. Who can know the illusory state ‘I

the Absolute.
There has to be an unchangeable background that
