I Am That ! Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj .

I Am That ! Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj .

Today I am going to share one of the best and greatest books that I have been reading for 23 years !
When I say , reading  , it means that this book is a book that I read again and again  ! This is a book that you read just like you eat or even breath ! This book is nourishment for my thirsty and hungry spirit ! This book was first published in 1973 ! It is  actually the talks of Sri Nisargatta in Marathi . Some people tape recorded , others translated or edited this marvelous book !
It is so highly spoken off book , that one statement from the forward to the book is worth sharing with you . ' In fact , many regard it as the only book of spiritual teaching really worth studying ! '
Here is a book that is so pure and direct to the point that it is awesome and amazing !
This Great Spiritual Master does not minch his words on matters of the spirit ! He does straight to
the Real and keeps holding you to That , That Is all the way !
On the very cover of the book that I have are this words ! '
' The Real does not die , the unreal never lived . Imagine a big building collapsing , some rooms are in ruins , some intact .
But can you speak of the space as ruined or intact ?
It is only the structure that suffered and the people who happened to live in it . Nothing happens to space itself ! Similarly , nothing happens to life when forms break down and names are wiped out .
Once you know that death happens to the body and not to you ,you just watch your body falling off , like a discarded garment !
The Real you is timeless and beyond birth and death !
The body will survive as long as it is needed . it is not important that it should live long ! '
now just reading the above lines from the cover of the book has expressed everything ! It is the very essence or core of the great book !
Here is one Master of the highest Upanishadic traditions !
A Real true teacher of the Vedantic path of Oneness !
He stands high as a pure state of awareness and oneness and needed no ashrams or followers !




He lived on his terms and is one of the great free spirits that I know !
All I can say, at the end is that this is a book you have to taste , chew and eat slowly ! Digesting this knowledge and pure wisdom will change and transform you completely !
This so-called  review is more of just pointing to you to this book !
It is a book that you have to understand on your terms .
Please read it ! Thank you.
Till we meet again , take care .
Amar.
