Product Description

Synopsis

This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work. The book (now in its ninth printing) continues to draw new audiences and to enlighten anxious seekers for self-realisation. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion but gently unwrapped the mystery of the self. His message is simple, direct and yet sublime. The book preserves his dialogues with the followers who came from around the world seeking 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 recognise and penetrate its own state of being, not 'being this or that, here or there, then or now', but just timeless being. This is a legacy from a unique teacher who helps the reader to a clearer understanding of himself.

Nisargadatta Maharaj's "I AM THAT" is the last spiritual book you'll ever need to read. Congratulations, you've reached the end of your search! Nisargadatta's words are alive and will cut like a razor to the core of your being. Get this book! Read it and be devoured by it. Here are a few quotes...

Nothing can trouble you but your own imagination. (I AM THAT p.113)

General knowledge develops the mind, no doubt. But if you are going to spend your life in amassing knowledge, you build a wall round yourself. To go beyond the mind, a well-furnished mind is not needed. (p50)

The window is the absence of the wall, and it gives air and light because it is empty. Be empty of al mental content, of all imagination and effort, and the very absence of obstacles will cause reality to rush in. (p260)

Leave it all behind you. Forget it. Go forth, unburdened with ideas and beliefs. Abandon all verbal structures, all relative truth, all tangible objectives. (p340)

All are mere words, of what use are they to you? You are entangled in the web of verbal definitions and formulations. Go beyond your concepts and ideas; in the silence of desire and thought the truth is found. (p295)

Too much analysis leads you nowhere. There is in you the core of being which is beyond analysis, beyond the mind. You can know it in action only. The legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want possitive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind. (p341)

Before you can know anything directly, non-verbally, you must know the knower. So far, you took the mind for the knower, but it is not so. The mind clogs you up with images and ideas, which leave scars in memory. You take remembering to be knowledge. True knowledge is ever fresh, new, unexpected. It wells up from within. When you know what you are, you also are what you know. Between knowing and being there is no gap. (p520)

Consciousness, being a product of conditions and circumstances, depends on them and changes along with them. What is independent, uncreated, timeless and changeless and yet ever new and fresh is beyond the mind. When the mind thinks of it, the mind dissolves and only happiness remains. (p488)

[With self-awareness] you grow more intelligent. In awareness you learn, in self-awareness you learn about yourself. Of course, you can only learn what you are not. To know what you are, you must go beyond the mind. Awareness is the point at which the mind reaches out beyond itself into reality. In awareness you seek not what pleases, but what is true. (p346)

Stop making use of your mind and see what happens. Do this one thing thoroughly. That is all. (p197)

After reading "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, I wondered what else there could there be that would touch my inner self so profoundly. What teaching could come so close? Then I stumbled on "I AM THAT", and it's been at my bedside ever since. I now no longer think about the next book - I'm satisfied with this one. You can start it at any page, and immediately find the encouragement to carry on your spiritual journey. If your serious about finding "I", "Self", or God then don't hesitate; this is the one. This book is so simple, and straight to the point, it just can't be argued with. I don't care how much it costs, its worth every penny.

I found this book to offer some great insights and simple instructions on becoming more present. I believe it was translated from marathi into english, however, which I think makes some of the translations a little confusing. It's also in a question and answer format which I didn't get on with as I think it assumes that everyone is asking the same questions and when you read it you may wonder at the relevance of some of the questions these spiritual pilgrims are asking. The text is quite intellectually challenging in places as well, particularly the questions asked, which can numb your brain at certain times of day as the book is quite long and the message repetative at times. Anyway, I don't want to criticise what is otherwise a great book and the message being offered here is clear, concise and liberating. In short this and "Power of Now" are in my opinion the only two books on sprituality anyone should ever need!

This is the book that changed everything for 'me'. The insight and directness of the text is mind-blowing. Possibly not for beginners, but then again, who is a beginner?
