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’.

secondary to the not wandering of thoughts when
you seclude the ‘I am’ from the rest.
108. Once you stabilize in the ‘I am’ you
will realize that it is not the eternal state,
but ‘you’ are eternal and ancient.
You must have observed that although you see
people die around you everyday, you for yourself
feel that you are going to continue as you are.
Deep down, sub-consciously, you believe that
things will remain as they are, nothing will change.
Strangely although, in retrospect, you find that
things have changed quite dramatically from what
they were several years back, especially your
notions, ideas and most of all priorities. It is this
sub-conscious urge for eternity or immortality that
has dragged you into spirituality. In a way you
were not wrong, except that you mistakenly
believed that you as a body, a person or as the ‘I
am so and so’ are going to continue. Following the
teaching of the Guru when you stabilize in the
wordless ‘I am’ you will realize that it is not
eternal. You stand apart from the ‘I am’ as the true
formless Absolute which is a witness to the ‘I am’
which has appeared on it. This true being of yours
is eternal and ancient.
