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’.

neck! And what will happen now? The Maya

realizes its own existence to be in danger and thus

releases its stranglehold on you, runs away and

gets lost.

98. In deep meditation, infused only with

the knowledge ‘I am’, it would be

intuitively revealed to you as to how this

‘I amness’ came to be.

The Guru once again highlights the importance of

meditation for the ‘Sadhak’ (aspirant) and that too,

not something to be done casually but in a very

deep way. What is meant by deep? Deep means

that you know nothing but the sense ‘I am’ only for

a prolonged uninterrupted period of time. Success

may or may not come early, but come it would if

you are completely infused with the knowledge ‘I

am’ with an enormous sincerity and earnestness.

And what would be revealed to you? The ‘I

amness’ itself will tell its story and you would come

to know how it came to be. Or paradoxically

speaking, how the ‘I am’ never came to be or never

was in the first place! It is always the Absolute that

was, is, and will be for ever, the ‘I am’ was only an

illusion that appeared on it.
