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"
...(more) 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.(less)
I keep re-reading this, over and over. I usually read one or two chapters before I sit down to meditate. The book has over one hundred chapters of a few pages each, which can easily be read separately or randomly.
As with others of this kind, this book was written in question and answer style, and even after having read it several times, I keep being amazed, humbled and inspired by Nisaragdatta's answers, which are nearly always extremely penetrating and split your ordinary mind wide, wide open.
One of my all-time favourites.
