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’.

112. I am not telling you what the real is,
because words negate that. Whatever I
am telling you is not the truth because it
has come from the ‘I am’.
The utmost honesty of the Guru must be
appreciated when he says that whatever he is
telling you is not the truth. In fact it makes your
understanding more clear, and emphasizes the
total unreliability of words to realize the truth.
But since we have no others means of getting the
instruction from the Guru he uses words and he
makes it clear that the real is beyond words. The
moment you utter a word it must come from the ‘I
am’ and the ‘I am’ is false.
113. I take you to the source ‘I am’ again
and again, on reaching and stabilizing
there you realize there is no ‘I am’!
The Guru is tireless in his efforts and very
