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’.

going to work or am I wasting time? But what
happens when you meditate on the knowledge ‘I
am’ as prescribed? How can there be any question
now? If you have correctly understood the ‘I am’
you would see that it is the very beginning of
knowledge, the ‘I am’ in its utmost purity. And, as
a part of the practice you have to abide in the ‘I
am’ and not move from it. If a question arises you
can be lest assured that you have moved or are no
longer abiding in the ‘I am’. In fact, this is a very
useful means of assessing your progress in the
‘Sadhana’ (practice), the objective is to arrive at a
stage when there are no questions arising
anymore.

worldly activities; otherwise just hold on
