About This Book

Translated by Maurice Frydman and widely regarded as one of the most powerful Advaita texts of the 20th century, this book records dialogues with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj — a Mumbai bidi-seller who had realized the Self under his guru's brief instruction. His teaching is radical and uncompromising: the body, mind, and world are appearances in consciousness; the only reality is "I Am" prior to all concept.

What You'll Learn

The sense "I Am" — pure being without any attribute — is the only thing that is undeniably real; everything else is superimposed on it. The mind is simply consciousness getting entangled in its own content; freedom is recognizing that you are the witness, not what is witnessed. Liberation is not a future attainment — it is recognizing what you always are.
