Product Details
Paperback: 475 pages
Publisher: The Acorn Press, Durham, NC; 2nd American edition (revised) edition (August 8, 2012)
Many well-known teachers today consider Nisargadatta (1897-1981) to be at least one of their teachers, and this book is considered to be a spiritual classic. It is a recording of 101 interactions that took place between him and those who came to his humble abode in Bombay (now Mumbai). Everyone was welcomed. I find myself amazed at his patience in dealing with the often-verbose and argumentative people who came to him. I certainly was not as patient in reading their remarks, but the book is worth it for the nuggets that are hidden within. An uneducated man, he seems to intuitively come up with whatever the particular person he is addressing needs at that moment. Here are some examples: “Once you know with absolute certainly that nothing can trouble you but your own imagination, you come to disregard your desires and fears, concepts and ideas, and live by truth alone.” “From moment to moment, the little I need to know to live my life I somehow happen to know.” “Pain is physical; suffering is mental. . . Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is the sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.” To the question: Without desire and fear, what motive is there for action?, Nisargadatta answers, “None, unless you consider love of life, of righteousness, of beauty, motive enough.”

mind boggling book - only had my copy for a few months and i've already given away 4 copies to friends... the question and answer format is perfect for just picking it up, opening it to any page and letting it tell you what you need to know at that moment - kinda like the I Ching or Tao Te Ching... some of the questions were absurdly idiotic, but Nisargadatta patiently answers them with simple metaphors that even a child might understand - unfortunately i think few of the questioners did... not quite ready yet...
the only thing i can really criticize is he repeatedly refers to God / Supreme in the masculine as "he" / "him" / "his" - perpetuating a deeply conditioned infantile patriarchal delusion of a masculine 'God' that even i saw through as a teenager... but of course he was immersed in a deeply imprinted patriarchal culture that sees the feminine as spiritually inferior to the masculine (Buddhist nuns must STILL stand and bow when a monk enters a room they're in) and apparently he never got that inane patriarchal filter cleaned out...
But don't listen to me - listen to him:

"Ultimately nothing is mine or yours - everything is ours. Just be one with yourself and you will be one with all, at home in the entire universe."
"Attachment is born along with the sense of 'ME' and 'MINE'. Find the true meaning of these words and you will be free of all bondage."
"The very admission 'I am ignorant' is the dawn of knowledge. An ignorant man is ignorant of his ignorance." [just as those in denial deny their denial]
"Relatively, what causes suffering is wrong, what alleviates it is right. Absolutely, what brings you back to Reality is right and what dims Reality is wrong.Read more ›

There are life changing lessons within these pages. "I Am That" can change you forever. If you have been on the path of "non-duality" and have been doing your learning, this book needs to be apart of your library. I started my usual underlining and noting each "nice" snippet, but gave it up as every word is such a blessing.
It's a page turner... I devoured this book,,, nodding, smiling, giggling, saying "Yes, yes yes!

I have read many spiritual books. This one is a must own. Eckhart Tolle, Krishnamurti, Lao Tzu are my top three authors of self dissolving books; Nisargadatta is tied with them. Each author brings his own great style and they all compliment one another. This book deserves more ratings because it has a great uniqueness and gives me a greater sense of how to reach the supreme. The passages stick with me and make me desire non-desire and yearn for the truth like no other. This teacher makes me feel that I can 'obtain' the unobtainable and knowing his origins, a relatively simple shop owner, shows us that it's not for just sages who are extraordinarily good at meditation or yoga...it's for everyone who want's nothing else; which, if you understand the cyclical nature of pleasure and pain (experience and suffering often serve as better teachers than just the knowledge) then this inward path to realization is all that matters. His teachings make me believe that I too can shed my identity and live in bliss; no desires or fears clouding my mind and leading me into suffering. Each passage is absolutely brilliant and has helped me clear up so much of my questions, deep regret and doubt and replaced it with gratitude, faith and resolve. The book makes me more 'earnest', a word he uses quite often, suggesting that earnestness and integrity will get you over the river. Please read this book and perhaps save yourself some turmoil; I know if I had read and digested this book before I had left the path to enlightenment in order to pursue desire, ending up in a hellish nightmare for several years, I might have not had to endure such a self betrayal. However I know all the suffering was a most divine teacher and am now grateful for reminding me why it is I'm here.
Blessings,
Michael
