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’.

try to understand and grasp this ‘beingness’ or ‘I

amness’ that is inherent in you. The more precisely

and clearly you do it the more rapid would be your

progress.

2. Just stay put firmly and establish

yourself in the ‘I am’, reject all that does

not go with ‘I am’.

Having understood the ‘I am’ in every way, the

next thing is to stay there, establish yourself in

your sense of ‘being’ and not deviate from it at all.

The very moment you start thinking about anything

else you can be lest assured there have been ‘addons’

on the basic ‘I am’ and it has lost its purity.

Reject anything that is ‘I am plus …’and so forth

because all the rest are contaminants and do not

go with it.

3. Consistently and with perseverance

separate the ‘I am’ from ‘this’ or ‘that’,

just keep in mind the feeling ‘I am’.

All this is not as easy as it sounds it is hard work,

your consistency and perseverance are keys to you

success. Separate the ‘I am’ from ‘I am this’ or’ I

am that’ or ‘I am so and so’ all these are add-ons

and have been loaded onto you by others and
