Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ Selected Quotes from "I Am That"

"It is not a new state. It is at once recognized as the original, basic existence, which is life itself, and also love and joy." (Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)

Mooji often quotes Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, and although I do not read much these days, I do have this book. I was looking through it earlier and was contemplating "Is it any wonder we cherish our beloved Mooji so much, and listen as clearly as we can to that which he speaks? "

Maharaj says "The very meeting of a guru is the assurance of liberation." (p 101) and "Insanity is universal. Sanity is rare. Yet there is hope, because the moment we perceive our insanity, we are on the way to sanity. This is the function of the Guru to make us see the madness of our daily living. Life makes you conscious, but the teacher makes you aware." (p 282).

And both Mooji and Maharaj tell us that our greatest guru is our own inner self. None-the-less, the Grace of the guru is the Grace itself we are blessed with, and we are also truly blessed to have their fingers point us back to our own selves.

I am so grateful that Mooji and his team supply the satsang footage for these videos because this body may never attend a (live) satsang who knows? This channel is internet-satsang for me. There have been a number of times in the past when I have told a few people that I am taking some time off (if you want to make God laugh, tell him/her your plans). Videos happen when they happen. They began out of the blue, and they may end the same way. Meanwhile, it seems I have little to do with it.

I have a copy of the book. I haven't really looked at it, but what's the go? It's a spiritual book with phrases to make you think about things in a different way? How do you approach the material? I guess I would understood if I read it, but I though I'd ask first.

Logically the only retard that can ever exist is the one who has "being a retard" on his or her mind.... ;-)

Loved the quotes, but the text was difficult to read against the background images. Thanks for the upload though.

'I Am That' is an amazing book. Thanks for posting quotes from that book although it is really hard to pick a select few quotes from that book. It seems as though every line from that book is suffused with Divine Wisdom....

wonderful choice in music, visuals and words, as it soothed me into a deep state of relaxation where mind and body became one and willing to receive such enlightened words by Maharaj. Thank you for your creativity and our efforts!! and I would love, Love to see you do another video simliar to this, but a one piece of advice...a possible colour change. It was hard to make out certain words on some of the takes as it blended too well into the visuals, other than that, merci again!!
