Focussed 'I am ' Meditation - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

This is a selection of key pointers taken from the book Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj The Complete Works. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj always stressed on the necessity of doing the meditation in order to realize our true nature.Throughout his dailogues he has given us very clear instructions about how to do meditation and what he experieneced in the process.
Nisargadatta Maharaj (17 April 1897 - 8 September 1981), born Maruti Shivrampant Kambli, was an Indian guru of nondualism, belonging to the Inchagiri Sampradaya, a lineage of teachers from the Navnath Sampradaya and Lingayat Shaivism.

It will transform your reality that fast !!!

@@stevetjokro First of all, get the body grounded, visualise each body part , stand up with closed eyes , make movements of hands , feet , head and know these movements from within. If you are fully familiar with your home/room , move around slowly, eyes still closed , stop and move , stop and move. Know who is knowing all these activities. Get it's strong bearing and then open the eyes and venture out. Make up the mind that you want to get to the core of this phenomenon. Try to digest every move and make it a daily practice whenever possible. This internal " knower" will expand with time and practice. THEN, you will know.

Staying innthe I am, results in complete silence and peace. Then....a weird shift occurs, whereby it feels as if you are being turned inside out. At that stage, I dont think this is the absoloute. It is the pristine pure I am. Thats as far as I've got. In fact, I've only reached this stage 4 times. I have to wait for the satvicc days. Which seems to be around 2 to 3 days of an open satvic window. Then it goes blunt, and I cannot stand at the door of the absoloute. An amazing science.

In the silence, felt at the place of the heart. We actively consent to the space occupied by our sense of I am-ness, here, to be replaced with the space of the Absolute (Sacrifice if you wish).

One of Ramana Maharshi main teachings is to put the attention in the I-thought (sense of person), and with that the I-thought disappear and we are left with the sense of pure awareness (normally not permanent), only sounds and sensations, total freedom.

I Am refer to our spirit ,soul or concious ? I Absolute refer to what? Pls advise to clear my doubts

[@srinisargadatta]

Awareness or absolute or Parabhrahman is primary the most fundamental. This awareness is not aware of itself. Then out of no reason or cause , when so called birth takes place, the baby becoms concious. This conciousness is just an aspect of primordial awareness. You can call conciousness God, spirit, soul or by any other name.

[@antonellamicheli1082]

Thanku..what i want to know is how to abide in the absolute i f we are busy cooking,looking after our family etc...and cannot concentrate on the absolute in these moments?

[@srinisargadatta]

Nisargadatta never ignored the importance of daily living. Please do not force yourself to stay in Absolute using power of will. Let's use the analogy of a movie screen , what it means is, when you are busy cooking , looking after family , then you are enacting the role of family man/woman on the screen and one tends to loose oneself in role so much so that the blank screen is completely forgotten. . But remember that screen is always present in background , the Absolute is always there in background . Just you are not aware of it. And that is okay and perfectly fine 🙏

[@yerusalemmussie3352]

First thank you so much I was looking for this type of guided meditation. I have been in the spiritual path for 7 years. I meditate through out the day. Meditation just happens for me🙏 Recently I have been listening to Advanta Vedanta teaching and in my meditation it became very clear that I am the witness the awareness. So in my understanding is to know the true self. To find out who am I. In this video he in the beginning he said there are two of you. There is the real you. And there is the false you. The real you is the I am. But then I hear him say you are not the I am you are prior to that the absolute. Here I am a little confused. Can you please explain 🙏🙏🙏

[@srinisargadatta]

Its a good question sir. Please note, 'I am' is conciousness , the presence. When we are meditating conciousness is looking at itself ( witnessing). Then the stage comes even conciousness disappears. That is even 'I am ' dissolves and only absolte remains . Thats your true state, that is who you are.🙏

[@sharadcs6565]

This question is for the uploader of this video.the Q. Is at one place statement is I AM is first ignorance it is illusion but in the last part statement is ""I AM is God,Consciousness, but you are none of them"".confusion is not about me but I AM

[@srinisargadatta]

Noted your views on 'I am' and apparant confusion around it. When Nisargadatta says 'I am' is first illusion, what he meant was prior to appreance of 'I am' it was Parabhrahman( absolute) state. And that is the only true state. And then suddenly 'I am' appeared which is impermanant , and whole game started , which is ever changing and so it must be unreal , therefore its an illusion. Why, because on it the apparant non existant individual developed its strory which it assumed to be real. Then concept of god ( which is also creation of mind ) came up. So that too must be unreal, therefore an illusion. But the real 'You' ( the parabhrahman) are none of these. Which is true, the absolute truth. So there is no confusion. This is my understanding, please enlighten me if you see any scope of improvement.

I don't know about other Gurus but I can say with certainity that Nisargadatta Maharaj did not party. He was a ordinary householder and to support his family he used to sell Beedies ( rolled cigarettes ) . He got his initiation when he was 36 and at the age of 39 he was self realized. I suggest, you read his life story before you make such silly allegations. Your sarcastic remarks are unfortunate and immature. Now as for as old age is concerned , he was not for any name and fame. He became well known only during his later part of life, was it his fault?
