Nisargadatta Maharaj

This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, regarded by many as a "modern spiritual classic" is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work "I Am That" preserves Maharaj's dialogues with the followers who came from around the world seeking his guidance in destroying false identities. The sage's sole concern was with human suffering and the ending of suffering. It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. He taught that mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being, "being this or that, here or that, then or now," but just timeless being.

In this book you will find the last teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the final dialogues he had with the people who had come from all over the world to hear his words. These talks, coming during the last days of his life, were the culmination of the rarest teachings he had to give us; they were the summit of the heights of his wisdom.

Key Spiritual Teachings From Unpublished Discourses “This well-structured book outlines the fundamental teachings of Sri Nisargadatta and will undoubtedly be a significant addition to the Nisargadatta canon. This work is based on tape recordings of discourses captured and translated by Sri Mohan Gaitonde, one of Sri Nisargadatta’s translators. Once the idea ‘I am not the body’ settles in, which is in fact the reality, the ‘Unborn’ is all that remains. Sri Nisargadatta has said, ‘You are Unborn, you were Unborn, and you shall remain Unborn’.” - Pradeep Apte, author of ‘The Nisargadatta Gita’ and ‘The Unborn Nisargadatta’ “Thank you for the great book. You have justified my giving you permission. All lovers of Maharaj will enjoy reading it.” - Mohan Gaitonde, Nisargadatta Maharaj's translator In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our self-identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack. According to Sri Nisargadatta, all conditions, all names and appearances, emerge from ignorance and imagination, from the mind’s assumptions—assumptions due to not enquiring and therefore not appreciating the nature of reality. When we realise that we are not limited to the body, we find that we are already free, needing no liberation. We discover that we are not only free, but infinite and boundless. This ‘I am-ness’ is the substance of our entire world. All that we know owes its birth to consciousness and it is the portal to the Absolute. When we are no longer a slave of body-consciousness, we realise ourselves as Universal Consciousness, Pure Awareness. Our preoccupation with the known ceases, and we find the natural state, Nisarga, was present all along. We are this stateless state, and the universe is our ecstatic outpouring. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj met his guru, Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj, at the age of 34 in 1933. Three years later, Sri Nisargadatta realised himself as the Supreme Reality, the transcendental Self. Through earnestly heeding the words of his Guru, he discovered he was That which is unmanifest and eternal—beyond the bondage of name, form, shape, and size. For many years, thousands of people came from all over India and the world to listen to Sri Nisargadatta’s teachings. His influence is still as powerful today as it was when he gave regular talks four decades ago. Undoubtedly one of the greatest spiritual teachers of all time, one can sense his depth of dedication to truth, rather than affluence, recognition, and agenda. His legendary plain-speaking way and heartfelt commitment to assisting those on the direct path will affect anyone serious about self-realisation and the transfiguration of consciousness.

Seeds of Consciousness is the first of three books edited by Jean Dunn, which are wholly taken from daily Talks given by Nisargadatta Maharaj at his Bombay apartment during 1979 and 1980. Books of this type have been prepared by other editors, all of whom used the same group of English translators, but Dunn (a disciple for many years) has selected the clearest talks, least burdened with technical Hindu pointers.

We are fortunate indeed to have what is in all likelihood a direct & accurate record of Nisargadatta Maharaj’s teachings. These are presented in the form of Nirupanas – as passages for meditation. That is their purpose and that is where they lead. Maharaj’s words will tear away all internal and external covers and leave your innermost core bare. The uniqueness of these Nirupanas therefore lies in the fact that here they come to us from an enlightened master’s direct experience – expressed spontaneously. Maharaj spoke in Marathi, and Dinkar Kshirsagar, being also Maharashtrian, wrote them down verbatim. After being translated into English, they have been diligently edited by Suresh Mehta.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981), a revered master of the Tantric Nath lineage, is an inspiring example of an ordinary family man who attained complete realization of the Infinite. Living the absolute nonduality of Being in every moment, he taught that true freedom is a possibility open to every one of us. He drew disciples from all over the world to his humble loft in the tenements of Bombay.Even on the written page, Nisargdatta’s words carry a special potency. They subtly push us beyond the ego to our original, pristine and blissful Self, to the rediscovery of Oneness and authentic liberation in our Source.

This Book is based on the talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj whose first collection of talks were published under the title -I AM THAT. Jean Dunn, a close follower of Maharaj edited this and two other volumes that make up a triology of Maharaj's talks, Seeds of Consciousness and Consciousness and the Absolute.

xperience afresh, the true essence of his teachingRecently, some long-forgotten tapes of Nisargadatta Maharaj’s talks were unearthed from the archives of S. K. Mullarpattan, Maharaj’s interpreter for the longest time. These tapes contained recordings of some of Maharaj’s talks with seekers, held during the last two years of his life.They capture afresh the essence and flavour of the teachings of this world-renowned Master of Advaita – the Hindu philosophy of Non-duality. These dialogues find a new relevance for our times. For, in one of these talks, Maharaj made a special reference to his earlier book I Am That and said, “That book and whatever was expounded at that time was only relevant for that period. I am speaking differently today. As a matter of fact, this should also have been recorded and published as it is in greater detail, and is emphasizing different aspects.”More than 25 years later, that wish of Nisargadatta Maharaj is being fulfilled with the publication of these talks in Beyond Freedom. This is a book all devotees of Maharaj will want to read with ardent fervour and enthusiasm.

Nisargadatta Maharaj was one of the great sages of modern India. The talks in this collection are transcribed from tape recordings made during the question and answer periods between April 1980 and July 1981 between seekers from all over the world and Nisargadatta Maharaj, at the age of 84.The central core of Maharaj's teaching Until man can free himself from false identifications, from pretensions and delusions of various kinds, he cannot come face to face with the eternal verity that is latent within his own self. "What the mind invents, the mind destroys. But the real is not invented and cannot be destroyed ..."He continued to hammer at our egos, insisting that we can only know through our personal experience, not through the second-hand knowledge of others and of books. His words are used like a surgeon's scalpel, used to cut away the concepts we have been given since birth. Before this form came - what was I? He was very sharp with his answers. In the last two years of his life, he would not entertain any questions pertaining to this worldly life and its improvement. He spoke only the plain truth. Prior to Consciousness continues the most revealing and illuminating dialogues which began with I Am That.

Ever since it was originally published in 1973 "I AM THAT" a modern spiritual classic has run into reprint (Paperback and Hardcover both put together) seventeen times.That is the kind of popularity the book is enjoying. I Am That is a legacy from a unique teacher who helps the reader to a clearer understanding of himself as he comes to Maharaj,the spiritual teacher, again and again with the age-old questions,"where am I" "who am I" and "whither am I".The listeners were never turned away from the humble abode of Maharaj then and are not turned away now!

Nisargadatta Maharaj’s life was a wonderful example of modern-day sage who lived the simple life of a shopkeeper and family man, yet taught from the highest perspective of nondual realization. Maharaj’s books and teachings are very popular among Western seekers because of their great clarity and direct approach to spiritual awakening. Awaken to the Eternal contains all of the available footage fo Nisargadatta Maharaj. The essence of his teachings are clearly presented and several people who had an opportunity to be with him discuss the impact of his presence and teachings in their lives. Included are interviews with Jack Kornfield, Jean Dunn, Stephen Wolinsky, and Robert Powell.

The Seven Steps to Awakening is the most powerful collection of quotes ever assembled on the subject of how to directly experience the true Self whose nature is Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss and how to bring the impostor self, its tricks and all suffering to a final end in this lifetime. Most books on the subject of Self-realization are written by those who have only conceptual knowledge and no direct experience of the infinite Self. All seven of the sages quoted in The Seven Steps to Awakening lived in the Infinite and their knowledge came from their direct experience of the Infinite Self. The quotes in The Seven Steps to Awakening are doorways to liberation and a loving transmission from the Infinite Self to you. When the impostor self attempts to derail you from your journey to Awakening, reading the quotes in The Seven Steps to Awakening can inspire and encourage you to get back on track. Only the most essential and most powerful quotes that have no distractions or detours were selected for The Seven Steps to Awakening. The first collection of quotes describes how to tell the difference between a conceptual journey and a journey to Awakening. The second points out that the world, etc. is a dreamlike illusion. The third reveals why it is necessary to bring the impostor self to its final end. The fourth is about the importance of increasing your desire for liberation. The fifth is for the purpose of encouraging, inspiring and motivating you to actually practice all seven steps. The sixth is about turning your attention inward. The seventh describes the most rapid, direct and effective method that brings the impostor self, its tricks and all suffering to their final end so that you can remain forever in the true Self whose nature is Infinite-Awareness-Love-Bliss.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was one of the important spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. A realized master of the Tantric Nath lineage, he lived and taught in the slums of Bombay, India. A steady stream of students, Indians and Westerners, fortunate enough to discover Maharaj during his lifetime, came to sit at his feet in the small loft where he received visitors. In the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, he shared the highest Truth of nonduality in his own unique way, from the depths of his own realization. The profound yet simple words of this extraordinary teacher jolt us into awareness. Like the Zen masters of old, Nisargadatta's style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound. His terse, potent sayings trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing, or even reading them. Compiled during the last year of Nisargadatta 's life, The Ultimate Medicine provides advanced instruction for spiritual aspirants. Not for those who like their spirituality watered down, but for serious students seeking powerful antidotes to unawareness. Edited by Robert Powell, renowned spiritual author.

Self Knowledge and Self Realization from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj provides a rare description of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's own spiritual path and experiences. This book is addressed to those on the spiritual path, Spiritual Aspirants, and Devotees of God. "Self Knowledge and Self Realization", read with a mind free of conceptual thoughts and an open heart, has the potential to change your life.Sri Nisargadatta's teachings defy summarization, but he frequently recommended the practice that had led to his own realization in less than three "Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. (I Am That, Chapter 16.)Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) lived and taught in a small apartment in the slums of Bombay. A realized master of the Tantric Nath lineage, he supported himself and his family by selling cheap goods in a small booth on the streets outside his tenement for many years. His life exemplified the concept of absolute nonduality of being. In this volume, Maharaj shares the highest truth of nonduality in his own unique way. His teaching style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on inessentials. His terse but potent sayings are known for their ability to trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing or reading them."The point is that man freed from his fetters is morality personified. Such a man therefore does not need any moralistic injunctions in order to live righteously. Free a man from his bondage and thereafter everything else will take care of itself. On the other hand, man in his unredeemed state cannot possibly live morally, no matter what moral teaching he is given. It is an intrinsic impossibility, for his very foundation is immorality. That is, he lives a lie, a basic functioning in all his relationships as the separate entity he believes himself to be, whereas in reality no such separation exists. His every action therefore does violence to other 'selves' and other 'creatures,' which are only manifestations of the unitary consciousness. So Society had to invent some restraints in order to protect itself from its own worst excesses and thereby maintain some kind of status quo. The resulting arbitrary rules, which vary with place and time and therefore are purely relative, it calls 'morality,' and by upholding this man-invented 'idea' as the highest good–oftentimes sanctioned by religious 'revelation' and scriptures–society has provided man with one more excuse to disregard the quest for liberation or relegate it to a fairly low priority in his scheme of things."

This book is a compilation of unpublished talks with the contemporary Indian sage, Nisargadatta Maharaj. Recorded in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it represents some of the fundamental teachings of this important sage. All of the sayings point the reader back to the truth of one's true nature--one of undying peace and happiness. Many contemporary teachers, such as Lama Surya Das, Wayne Dyer, and Jack Kornfield, draw on the words of Nisargadatta for inspiration and clarification. These wisdom-teachings are combined with photos of Maharaj and some of the locations he lived in in Bombay and the surrounding area. This book is a spiritual journey back to the source of true and abiding peace and happiness. Nisargadatta Maharaj was a simple family man, and owner of a cigarette shop. The beauty of his teachings lie in their remarkable clarity and wisdom, which is borne of the highest realization and spiritual understanding.

Contiene 2 libros de "Yo soy innacido" y "Destellos de Nisargadatta" con un total de 480 páginas. Yo soy innacido, era innacido y permaneceré innacido. Usted es innacido, usted no tiene nacimiento ni muerte. Las gentes tienen miedo de morir, porque no saben lo que es la muerte. El jnani está más allá de la vida y la muerte y ve por tanto que no hay nada a lo que temer. Abandone su apego a lo irreal y lo real surgirá por sí mismo, rápida y suavemente.

The wisdom contained in this collection of talks emerged from dialogues with those who came from all over the world to learn the mysteries of life at the feet of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, one of the most revered holy men of India. The talks in Consciousness and the Absolute were recorded shortly before Nisargadatta's death in 1981, and translated directly to English with no changes. In a question-and-answer format, the visitors and devotees accompanied this great master during his final teachings. His message uncompromisingly remained the same to the end, to dwell only on our beingness, giving it no attributes, dwelling prior to our thoughts.In Consciousness and the Absolute, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj speaks to us today and tomorrow.

'I am that by which I know"I am"'... In this collection of talks between master and devotee, the final discourses of Sri Nisargadatta before his death, we can recognise the voice of a truly original teacher. His way is that of atma yoga, the essential yoga of self-inquiry/ His words are simple, direct and yet subtle, charged with a powerful energy they cut through the self-imposed barriers of the mind to reach the borderline between Beingness and Non-Beingness. In language clear and astringent as water from a deep well Sri Nisargadatta demands nothing less than the complete abandonment of desire, even for spiritual experience, and offers in return nothing less than the pure awareness of Self which is beyond desire - the true bliss of Transcendence. For those who are earnest in their search for Self these discourses are a precious gift. --- from book's back cover

La consciencia “yo” es el centro de todo. Si no hay consciencia “yo”, no hay ningún todo. Cuando uno se da cuenta de Sí mismo, “yo” desaparece, y lo que queda es Atma, solo Mismidad. El estado no ser no tiene aparición ni desaparición. La desaparición es considerada como la muerte por las gentes que son ignorantes del origen de la vigilia, es decir, de la consciencia. Para el Sabio no hay ninguna muerte. Darse cuenta de Sí mismo es el fin del miedo y de la muerte.

Back cover This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work and is regarded by many as a modern spiritual classic. I Am That (first published in 1973) continues to draw new audiences and to enlighten seekers anxious for self-realization. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently unwrapped the mystery of the self. His message was simple, direct, and sublime. I Am That preserves his dialogs with the followers who came from around the world seeking guidance in destroying false identities. The sage's sole concern was with the human suffering and the ending of suffering. It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. He taught that the mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being--not "being this or that, here or there, then or now," but just timeless being. A simple man, Maharaj was a householder and petty storekeeper in Bombay where he lived and died in 1981 at the age of 84. He had not been educated formally but came to be respected and loved for his insights into the crux of human pain and for the extraordinary lucidity of his direct disclosure. Hundreds of diverse seekers traveled the globe and sought him out in his unpretentious home in Bombay (now Mumbai) to hear him. To all of them, he gave hope that "beyond the real experience is not the mind, but the self, the light in which everything appears ... the awareness in which everything happens." In the humble abode of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, but for the electric lights and the noises of the street traffic, one would not know in which period of human history one dwells. There is an atmosphere of timelessness about his tiny room; the subjects discussed are timeless -- valid for all times; the way they are expounded and examined is also timeless; the centuries, millennia and yugas fall off and one deals with matters immensely ancient and eternally new. The discussions held and teachings given would have been the same ten thousand years ago and will be the same ten thousand years hence. There will always be conscious beings wondering about the fact of their being conscious and enquiring into its cause and aim. Whence am I? Who am I? Whither am I? Such questions have no beginning and no end. And it is crucial to know the answers, for without a full understanding of oneself, both in time and in timelessness, life is but a dream, imposed on us by powers we do not know, for purposes we cannot grasp. I Am That is a legacy from a unique teacher who helps the reader to a clearer understanding of himself as he comes to Maharaj with the age-old question, "Who am I?" Seekers were never turned away from the humble abode of Maharaj during his life and can still find their answers to this timeless question in the pages of this book today.

Este libro contiene 2 libros de Nisargadatta: "La consciencia y lo Absoluto" y "Antes de la consciencia". El libro tiene 563 páginas. Hay la mecha y hay el combustible; solo entonces la luz puede estar aquí. Así pues, la luz depende de la duración del combustible. Así es como sobreviene el factor tiempo. El sentido de presencia, esta consciencia, es todo De la misma manera en que la luz permanecerá solo mientras haya combustible para ella, así esta consciencia durará sólo mientras este combustible esté aquí, combustible que es el cuerpo. Si al cuerpo no se le suministra alimento constantemente, el cuerpo no durará; y si el cuerpo no dura, entonces la consciencia no dura. Por consiguiente, esta consciencia dependerá de cuánto esté aquí el cuerpo. Esta consciencia no es todo y no va a durar siempre. Descubra cómo ha surgido esa consciencia, descubra la fuente de la consciencia.

Hubo un tiempo en que usted no se conocía, en que usted no experimentaba el estado de vigilia y de sueño. No tenía hambre ni sed, ni comprensión de estas palabras, ni necesidad de ellas. Esta consciencia «yo soy» ha aparecido espontáneamente. «Yo soy» mismo es un concepto y, todo lo que usted es, es conceptual. Pero usted, lo Absoluto, es sin concepto, sin consciencia, y por eso mismo, eterno. No se trata de rechazar nada, sino simplemente de comprender qué es este estado «yo soy». Dese cuenta de que este «yo soy» es una ilusión, y que «yo, lo Absoluto», no soy este estado «yo soy».

Dopo "Il nettare dell'immortalità", ecco il secondo libro della trilogia di discorsi del maestro di Advaita Vedanta Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, curata da Robert Powell. Il volume si incentra sul tema del rapporto tra logica e spiritualità, e Nisargadatta dimostra ai suoi allievi, nel suo stile colloquiale e tagliente, che finché il pensiero non viene completamente trasceso, la logica continua a essere un valido strumento da applicare con rigore.

Ben O'yum

«Chi sono io? Che cos’è il mondo che vedo? Dove ero prima di nascere e dove andrò dopo la morte?» Sono queste le domande rivolte con maggiore insistenza a Nisargadatta Maharaj, negli ultimi anni della sua vita terrena, da centinaia di visitatori arrivati in India per ascoltare gli insegnamenti del venerabile maestro. Conversazioni che possono durare intere giornate o pochi istanti, ma sempre cariche della stessa intensità, del medesimo desiderio di conoscenza e condivisione. L’ingiustificata paura dell’aldilà, la caducità del mondo, il mistero della nascita e il principio d’identità dell’uomo con l’Assoluto percorrono questi dialoghi nel profondo e ne tessono la trama cruciale. Raccontando storie apparentemente semplici, ma cariche di significati astrali, Nisargadatta mostra come le preoccupazioni e i problemi quotidiani, la ricerca del successo e le insoddisfazioni non siano altro che il frutto di un antico fraintendimento: noi non siamo il corpo che ci è stato dato, la nostra felicità non riuscirà mai a risolversi nelle gioie effimere e nei piaceri della vita che esperiamo attraverso di esso, né possiamo affidargli il compimento del nostro destino. Per il maestro indiano, infatti, questa realtà in cui viviamo ha la consistenza di un grande sogno collettivo: un film, il cui epilogo è già scritto, all'interno del quale la nostra mente proietta di continuo storie, tesse ricordi, mette in scena affetti, amori, tragedie. Bisogna allora fermarsi, dare ascolto alle proprie domande interiori, lasciandosi trasportare da queste fino a discernere, oltre l’«illusione dell’io», ciò che è assoluto da ciò che invece è irrimediabilmente destinato a finire. Non Dualismo – in cui si riuniscono i due volumi dei dialoghi ultimi di Nisargadatta Maharaj, Alla sorgente dell’Essere e Essere è amore – raccoglie, per riportare alla luce, le riflessioni decisive dell’eminente maestro: lacerti di verità che non si limitano mai alla sola argomentazione dialettica, ma levitano nella metafora, nell’illuminazione improvvisa, nel guizzo sillogistico, nell’espediente allegorico. Bagliori di un pensiero originario che attraversano la Storia e si cristallizzano in un insegnamento universale, vertiginoso eppure pratico, alla portata non solo di filosofi e asceti, ma di chiunque abbia il desiderio di spingersi alla radice di se stesso.
