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

147
The beingness, the ‘I am’, is merely an instrument, it is not you. It
is an instrument of knowledge, and that great instrument of
knowledge is called God, which is the quality of the food essence.
Out of that alone you will be able to see everything else.
148
One who is completely rid of coming and going, and finally, one
who is completely rid of one’s very own concept that ‘I am’, is
completely liberated.
149
Brahman means the emanation of the world, simultaneously
confirming that ‘I am’. In this Brahman everything is illusion, but
who understands that? The principle that understands, realizes, and
witnesses is the ‘Parabrahman’. Witnessing happens to the
‘Parabrahman’. In this manifest state everything is ever changing,
nothing is permanent, and all is illusion.

When you are in deep sleep and you feel that you are awake, the
dream world appears simultaneously. With the ‘I am’, the world
appears in the waking and dream states.
151
Concepts come into the sense of being ‘I am’ because of the vital
breath that causes the mind flow. Mind means words, so thoughts
are there – they are the concepts. Look at your root, the child
consciousness, and finish it off.
