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’.

122. When you clearly see that it is the ‘I

am’ that is born, you stand apart from it

as the unborn.

The belief that you are born and would die one day

is presently very strongly embedded in you and

hence fear ever prevails. Following the Guru’s

teaching you revert and come to the knowledge ‘I

am’ and dwell there for a sufficient amount of time.

It is during this period of abidance in the ‘I am’

that a moment would come when you would very

clearly see that it is the ‘I am’ that is born. When

you see that it is the ‘I am’ that is born you stand

apart from it as the unborn, this occurs almost

simultaneously.

123. Once the ‘I am’ goes what remains is

the Original which is unconditioned,

without attributes or identity, it is called

‘Parabrahma’, or the Absolute.
