Pradeep Apte - The Nisargadatta Gita

209. When you dwell in destiny as ‘I am’,
you realize that it is not your death, but
the disappearance of ‘I amness’.
The Guru is revealing a secret that is of such
tremendous importance that only an advanced
seeker, who has spent a considerable amount of
time pondering over his teachings, can grasp its
true value. He is saying: your destiny is not death
but the disappearance of ‘I am’! This realization
can only come to someone who has transcended
the ‘I am’ and realized his true identity as the
Absolute or the ‘Parabrahman’. The ‘I am’ that
had appeared on him (which we mistakenly believe
as birth) has now disappeared (which we
mistakenly believe as death), that’s all. He has
nothing to do with it as he never was the ‘I am’. He
comes to the conclusion that he is unborn, he was
unborn and shall remain unborn!
210. You are beyond desire, which itself
depends on the ‘I am’. Do not suppress
desires, just don’t identify with them and
they will disappear.
