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’.

145. You should identify yourself only

with this indwelling knowledge ‘I am’.

That is all.

Severe your links with everything that has just

added on the ‘I am’ and destroyed its purity. After

doing this with surgical precision, just stay there

and identify yourself with this pure indwelling

knowledge ‘I am’. This knowledge is the only

legacy you have, understanding and abiding in it is

all that you have to do. If you do this earnestly a

moment will come when you would go beyond the

‘I am’ into your natural state.

146. Sit for meditation by identifying with

the ‘I am’, dwell only on the ‘I am’- not

merely the words ‘I am’.

Having understood the knowledge ‘I am’, dwell or

abide in the ‘I am’ only, without words. In order to

do this you would have to revert and go back to

or when you just came to know that ‘you are’. At

that time you had no knowledge of words or
