The complete 'I am' quotes of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Pradeep Apte

95
To understand more clearly take the example of the dream world.
You are in deep sleep and suddenly you feel ‘I am’ and that ‘I
amness’ creates a dream world. Similarly this manifest world is
created by that ‘I amness’. You will realize this later in the search
for truth. The last progress will be for you to transcend this ‘I
amness’ and get stabilized in the ultimate.
96
The knowledge ‘I am’ is the first ignorance and whatever
knowledge you acquire with it is ignorance. Go back to the source
of your ignorance.
97
Whatever is called God or Self is because there is the beingness,
the feeling that ‘I am’. That is the fundamental principle, the basis
of all your knowledge, but you are identifying yourself with the
body.
98
With greatest interest you get absorbed in your Self. By giving
attention only to your ‘I’ consciousness you can reach it. Without
giving attention to the body but to the sense ‘I am’.
99
The consciousness that has come out of the five elements, through

following any particular path, everything is the same. Think of that
