Consciousness and the absolute: the final talks of Sri Nisargadatta

by Edited by Jean Dunn

In this book you will find the last teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the final dialogues he had with the people who came from all over the world to hear his words. These talks, coming during the last days of his life, were the culmination of the rarest teachings he had to give us; they were the summit of the heights of his wisdom.

"Give up all you have read and heard and just BE. You, as the Absolute, are not this "I Amness." He says it again and again, breaking the hard shell around this pseudo-ego. He taught us to find out for ourselves, "Can this be true?" One must study the body with detachment, watch it without judging it. Abiding in the "I Amness" (or Consciousness, which is pure love), that Consciousness itself will give us the answers. Consciousness is what we are, not personal Consciousness, but impersonal, universal Consciousness. In time, Consciousness will show us that we are not even this, but we are the Eternal Absolute, unborn, undying.
