Introduction These quotes have been compiled from ten books that cover almost all the dialogues of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: 1. I Am That edited by Maurice Frydman 2. Seeds of Consciousness edited by Jean Dunn 3. Prior to Consciousness edited by Jean Dunn 4. Consciousness and the Absolute edited by Jean Dunn 5. The Experience of Nothingness edited by Robert Powell 6. The Nectar of Immortality edited by Robert Powell 7. The Ultimate Medicine edited by Robert Powell 8. Beyond Freedom edited by Maria Jory 9. I am Unborn edited by Pradeep Apte 10. Gleanings from Nisargadatta edited by Mark West Other works that are mostly expositions of his teachings like: The Blissful life by Robert Powell, Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj by Ramesh Balsekar, I Am That I Am by Stephen Wolinsky, Song of I Am edited by Jerry Katz and the ASMI – I Am That excerpts compiled and edited by Miguel-Angel Carrasco have not been referred to. Apart from his teachings, all these texts give a lot of information on Shri Nisragadatta Maharaj. Some other books that may also be of interest are: The Wisdom teachings of Nisargatta Maharaj: A visual journey published by Innerdirections, The Last days of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj published by Yogi impressions and Self Knowledge and Self Realization by Nisargadatta Maharaj, edited by Jean Dunn. This collection of all the ‘I am’ quotes of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj have been prepared to be used as a device to get focused on the ‘I am’. Most of these quotes are as such, while some have been prepared by resorting to concatenations for maintaining the ‘I
am’ theme during a dialogue session. A more condensed version of these quotes compiled into 231 quotes with brief commentaries appears as The Nisargadatta Gita. According to me, none of Maharaj’s dialogues require any extensive exposition, anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence and of course, a deep interest in the subject can understand what he is trying to say. I assume that most of those who use this text have already read all the ten books (or should I say ‘scriptures’) used for these quotes, and if not all at least, I Am That, which is the primary book (scripture). ********
