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’.

time. The ‘I am’ is the very beginning; the source

of everything and in its wordless state is in the

closest proximity to the Reality. By residing in the

‘I am’ you stand a better chance of arriving to your

natural state, than from anywhere else.

89. When one is established in the final

free Absolute state, the knowledge ‘I

am’ becomes ‘non-knowledge’.

The Absolute state is the ultimate state or you can

say that it is the stateless state. After the

disappearance of the ‘I am’ which was the primary

and root concept, there is no content anymore. The

‘I am’ departing there is no duality anymore, the

knowledge ‘I am’ becomes ‘non-knowledge’ as it is

not required anymore. The dissolution of the ‘I am’

is the end of all experience as well, as who is to

experience what? The knowledge ‘I am’ is the

initiator of everything, in its absence nothing is

left.
