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’.

am’, which is the ‘Sadhana’ (practice), holds the
key to know and become that ‘someone’.
84. A true devotee, by abiding in the
knowledge ‘I am’, transcends the
experience of death and attains
immortality.
Who is a true devotee? The one who not only
understands the ‘I am’ but also abides in it,
without swerving from it for even a moment for a
prolonged period of time. He and only he, who has
done this ‘Sadhana’ (practice) with complete
devotion is a true devotee. A moment of ripening is
bound to come and he would transcend the ‘I am’,
then he would know no death and would attain
immortality. It must be understood that it is the ‘I
am’ that is born and dies, you are the Absolute,
apart from the ‘I am’ and know none of these.
