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’.

Can you recollect any activity prior to the
appearance of ‘I am’? No, so what does this
suggest? It clearly shows that you stand apart from
the ‘I am’ as the Absolute. The ‘I am’ has only
appeared on you and you have nothing to do with it
or its activities.
81. With the transcendence of the
knowledge ‘I am’, the Absolute prevails.
The state is called Parabrahman, while
the knowledge ‘I am’ is Brahman.
It is very important to understand that the
knowledge ‘I am’ is Brahman. When you transcend
the ‘I am’ you transcend the Brahma state and
prevail as the Parabrahman or Absolute. The
Brahman is both, with qualities (‘Saguna’
Brahman) and without qualities (‘Nirguna’
Brahman). With qualities it is the manifest world
and without qualities it is the unmanifest world.
The ‘I am’ and ‘I am not’, the ‘knowing’ and ‘notknowing’,
the ‘being’ and ‘non-being’ are all the
same. They have only been differently called by
different terms, the Absolute or Parabrahman state
transcends both as there is no duality or opposites
there.
