Sri Nisargadatta Mabaraj met his guru, Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj, at the age of 34 in 1933. Three years later, Sri Nisargadatta realised himself as the Supreme Reality, the transcendental Self. Through earnestly heeding the words of his Guru, he discovered he was That which is unmanifest and eternal beyond the bondage of name. form, shape, and size. For many years, thousands of people came from all over India and the world to listen to Sri Nisargadatta's teachings. His influence is still as powerful today as it was when he gave regular talks four decades ago. His legendary plain-speaking way and heartfelt commitment to assisting those on the direct path will affect anyone serious about self-realisation and the transfiguration of consciousness. In this book of key spiritual teachings, the great Advaita Master teaches us that we are suffering because we identify ourselves as a body. Because of our body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our self-identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to sear ch beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack. According to Sri Nisargadatta, all conditions, all names and appearances, emerge from ignorance and imagination, from the mind's assumptions-assumptions due to not enquiring and therefore not appreciating the nature of reality. When we realise that we are not limited to the body, we find that we are already free, needing no liberation. We discover that we are not only free, but infinite and boundless. What Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj taught was a dependable and unpretentious means of freedom through understanding. To be, and to know of one's beingness or consciousness. is central to his teaching. Remembering that we are is our only real capital in the spiritual search. This abiding deeply in our existence through nondual meditation to reach the Source of the "I am' we know so well, is the heart of Nisarga Yoga. This 'I am-ness' is the substance of our entire world. All that we know owes its birth to consciousness and it is the portal to the Absolute. When we are no longer a slave of body-consciousness, we realise ourselves as Universal Consciousness, Pure Awareness. Our preoccupation with the known ceases, and we find the natural state, Nisarga, was present all along. We are this stateless state, and the universe is our creative outpouring.
