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’.

am’ is there in every sperm of the male rapidly
running towards the egg in the female reproductive
tract. When the sperms hover around the egg they
are desperate to penetrate the egg and complete
the process of the conception of another ‘I am’.
Finally one of them manages to enter and
fertilization occurs and a new ‘I am’ is conceived.
Thereafter it is a multiplication process forming
the embryo followed by the fetus in the womb. Each
cell of the fetus carries the ‘I am’ and lies dormant
in the womb and it is the ‘I am’ that is born. The ‘I
am’ contains everything and strongly asserts itself
throughout the life of the body that is born, of
course mistakenly believing itself to be the body!

fourth state) which means ‘where the
consciousness is’.
If you carefully observe the whole process of
reproduction, sexual or of other types prevalent in
