Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981), a revered master of the Tantric Nath Lineage, is an inspiring example of an ordinary family man who attained complete realization of the Infinte. Living the absolute nonduality of Being in every moment, he taught that true freedom is a possiblity open to everyone of us. These discourses are about Transcendence. The massage is clear: Return to what you were before before your so-called birth. Be in that eternity, a state of wholeness. It is changeless reality from which all change has sprung. Maharaj`s wisdom is truely partaking of the Gods, because it restores us to our original pristine and blissful condition, the rediscovery of our Source.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ( 1897-1981), one of the most important spiritual preceptors of the twentieth century, lived and taught in a small apartment in the slums of Bombay, India. A realized master of the Tantric Nath Lineage, Maharaj had a wife and four children. For many years, he supported himself and his family by selling cheap goods in a small booth on the streets outside his tenement. His life was a telling parable of the absolute non-duality of being. The profound yet simple words of this extraordinary teacher are designed to jolt us into awareness of our original nature. Like the Zen masters of Old, Nisargadattaês style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound cutting to the core and wasting little effort on the trigger shifts in consciousness, just by gearing, or even reading them. A study stream of Indians and Westerners, those fortunate enough to discover Maharaj during his lifetime, came to sit at his feet in the small loft where he received visitors. In the tradition of the sage Ramana Maharishi, he shared the highest Truth of non-duality in his own unique way, from the depths of his own realization. In this volume, Nisargadatta provides advanced instructions for spiritual aspirants. The Ultimate Medicine is not for those who like their spirituality watered down, but for serious students who will find herein powerful antidotes to unawareness.

His teaching style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on inessentials. His terse but potent sayings are known for their ability to trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing or reading them."The point is that man freed from his fetters is morality personified. Such a man therefore does not need any moralistic injunctions in order to live righteously. Free a man from his bondage and thereafter everything else will take care of itself. On the other hand, man in his unredeemed state cannot possibly live morally, no matter what moral teaching he is given. It is an intrinsic impossibility, for his very foundation is immorality. That is, he lives a lie, a basic contradiction: functioning in all his relationships as the separate entity he believes himself to be, whereas in reality no such separation exists. His every action therefore does violence to other 'selves' and other 'creatures,' which are only manifestations of the unitary consciousness. So Society had to invent some restraints in order to protect itself from its own worst excesses and thereby maintain some kind of status quo. The resulting arbitrary rules, which vary with place and time and therefore are purely relative, it calls 'morality,' and by upholding this man-invented 'idea' as the highest good–oftentimes sanctioned by religious 'revelation' and scriptures–society has provided man with one more excuse to disregard the quest for liberation or relegate it to a fairly low priority in his scheme of things.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981), a revered master of the Tantric Nath lineage, is an inspiring example of an ordinary family man who attained complete realization of the Infinite. His words carry a rare potency that can jolt the listener or reader into a profound sense of awareness, which at the same time signifies true freedom-the freedom from all fear and mental suffering. In this volume, Nisargadatta clearly demonstrates that logic and spirituality do not necessarily stand in opposition to one another. In a chapter after which this book has been titled, Nisargadatta relentlessly pursues a logical argument with the visitor to its very end.

Pendant plus de quarante ans Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj a guidé et inspiré tous ceux qui sont venus à lui ; doux, affectueux, patient ou abrupt, coupant, impatient selon les circonstances du moment, il a reçu des personnes en quête spirituelle venues du monde entier. Jusqu'à la fin, inlassablement, il dit et redit de ne pas se cramponner à tout ce que nous avons lu ou entendu, de chercher par nous-mêmes, de nous tourner vers l'intérieur ; d'être dans le " je suis " vrai, qui est aussi Conscience et Amour. Son style répétitif fait partie de sa sagesse et de son talent d'instructeur. Ces tout derniers entretiens représentent le meilleur de ce qu'il avait à nous offrir, la quintessence de sa sagesse. Conscience et Absolu est l'enseigne ultime de Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Los dialogos que forman este libro son una recopilacion de la intemporal ensenanza de uno de los sabios mas grandes de la India. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj no propuso ninguna religion ni tampoco ideologia alguna, limitandose a desvelar suavemente el misterio del Ser, con su mensaje a la vez sencillo, directo y sublime. La unica preocupacion de Nisargadatta era acabar con el sufrimiento humano y su mision fue guiar al individuo hacia la comprension de su verdadera naturaleza: el Ser todo-abarcante y todo-penetrante, eterna bienaventuranza y felicidad sin limites, de la cual surge todo cuanto existe.
A mistake made by almost everyone who studies the Direct Path Teachings is that instead of using the teachings as practice instructions they become lost in spiritual concepts. Most of those people never correct that mistake and at the end of their physical life they are still lost in a maze of concepts without having realized the True Self. A journey that never goes beyond thought is not a journey to Self Realization. In this book Seven Sages teach how to avoid getting lost in concepts. The type is Palatino 16 for crisp clear easy reading. This book contains all of the quotes in Chapter (Step) One from the book The Seven Steps to Awakening.

One purpose of the Self Realization Series is to put just one category of quotes into a small book that has the advantage of making it easier to focus, meditate on, grasp and have insight into just one subject at a time. That makes the approach simple, easier and less complicated. The idea is to stay focused on just one subject until you have received everything you need to receive from that one subject. Most people go on to the next subject without ever having learned to apply to their lives the subject they are studying now. The Self Realization series of books are portable practice manuals aimed at helping sincere seekers of Self Realization master one Key to Self Realization at a time. The six titles in the Self Realization Series are: 1.Self Awareness Practice Instructions. 2.The Desire for Liberation. 3.The False self. 4.Inspiration and Encouragement on the Path to Self Realization. 5.Everything is an Illusion. 6.How Not to Get Lost in Concepts.
What is helpful about reading these types of quotes is that the more you can realize that everything is an illusion the better you can ignore everything and turn inward. One of the most significant aspects to this collection of quotes by the Sages is that in addition to pointing out that everything is a dreamlike illusion, the also point out in many of their quotes that upon Self Realization everything disappears. They also state that realizing that the world, etc. is an illusion is essential for Self Realization. The type is Palatino 15 for crisp clear easy reading.

The false self is very deceptive. In almost all humans the false self's desire to continue its imaginary existence is much greater than its desire to be brought to a final end.

La quintessence de son enseignement Nisargadatta Maharaj est un guru indien de la doctrine de l'advaita vendanta ou non-dualité qui vécut de mars 1897 à septembre 1981. Son enseignement se fit connaître en Occident notamment au travers du livre intitulé Je suis vendu à plusieurs milliers d'exemplaires en France. Il est considéré par nombre d'Occidentaux, intéressés par cette philosophie, comme l'un des grands sages hindous traditionnels de l'époque contemporaine à l'instar d'un Ramana Marashi lié à cette école du Vendanta Selon certains participants à ses réunions, son enseignement se caractérisait par sa manière abrupte et sa simplicité, humble dans sa démarche, ne cherchant ni la notoriété ni la richesse. Il enseigne principalement qu'il n'y a rien à chercher, que tout ce que l'être humain recherche est déjà là, qu'il est l'absolu. Quand cela est réalisé, le chercheur ou le questionneur disparaît et devient identique au Brahman C'est alors la libération. Les échanges précieux de ce livre agissent comme un catalyseur divin pour ceux qui désirent quitter les rives de la recherche et de la compréhension intellectuelle, et qui veulent rejoindre la rivière intarissable de la compréhension de qui vous êtes ! Etre rien, c'est être Tout est sans doute l'ultime bénédiction de Nisargadatta Maharaj pour les chercheurs fervents.
«Chi sono io? Che cos'è il mondo che vedo? Dove ero prima di nascere e dove andrò dopo la morte?» Sono queste le domande rivolte con maggiore insistenza a Nisargadatta Maharaj, negli ultimi anni della sua vita terrena, da centinaia di visitatori arrivati in India per ascoltare gli insegnamenti del venerabile maestro. Conversazioni che possono durare intere giornate o pochi istanti, ma sempre cariche della stessa intensità, del medesimo desiderio di conoscenza e condivisione. L'ingiustificata paura dell'aldilà, la caducità del mondo, il mistero della nascita e il principio d'identità dell'uomo con l'Assoluto percorrono questi dialoghi nel profondo e ne tessono la trama cruciale. Raccontando storie apparentemente semplici, ma cariche di significati astrali, Nisargadatta mostra come le preoccupazioni e i problemi quotidiani, la ricerca del successo e le insoddisfazioni non siano altro che il frutto di un antico fraintendimento: noi non siamo il corpo che ci è stato dato, la nostra felicità non riuscirà mai a risolversi nelle gioie effimere e nei piaceri della vita che esperiamo attraverso di esso, né possiamo affidargli il compimento del nostro destino. Per il maestro indiano, infatti, questa realtà in cui viviamo ha la consistenza di un grande sogno collettivo: un film, il cui epilogo è già scritto, all'interno del quale la nostra mente proietta di continuo storie, tesse ricordi, mette in scena affetti, amori, tragedie. Bisogna allora fermarsi, dare ascolto alle proprie domande interiori, lasciandosi trasportare da queste fino a discernere, oltre l'«illusione dell'io», ciò che è assoluto da ciò che invece è irrimediabilmente destinato a finire. Non Dualismo – in cui si riuniscono i due volumi dei dialoghi ultimi di Nisargadatta Maharaj, Alla sorgente dell'Essere e Essere è amore – raccoglie, per riportare alla luce, le riflessioni decisive dell'eminente maestro: lacerti di verità che non si limitano mai alla sola argomentazione dialettica, ma levitano nella metafora, nell'illuminazione improvvisa, nel guizzo sillogistico, nell'espediente allegorico. Bagliori di un pensiero originario che attraversano la Storia e si cristallizzano in un insegnamento universale, vertiginoso eppure pratico, alla portata non solo di filosofi e asceti, ma di chiunque abbia il desiderio di spingersi alla radice di se stesso.
Fra il gennaio e il novembre del 1980, un anno prima della sua morte, il maestro spirituale indiano Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj accoglie nel mezzanino di casa sua, nell'allora Bombay, persone provenienti da tutto il mondo alla ricerca di risposte sulla lila, il gioco della vita, e i molteplici elementi che ne fanno parte. Amore, tempo, spazio, felicità, dolore, nascita, morte: concetti che sono in realtà illusioni create dalla nostra mente, veli che ci allontanano dalla vera essenza; cause di conflitti e sofferenza. «Tu che cosa sei? E dove stai andando? Che cos'è l'amore?» chiede il maestro ai suoi interlocutori. Le conversazioni che ne nascono, fatte di frasi concise e dirette, sono state raccolte in questo libro. «Sono quei "semi di fuoco" che senti e poi, consciamente, magari dimentichi. Ma intanto maturano dentro» dice Aldo Nove nella sua prefazione. «Ti scaraventano altrove», in un viaggio che ci porta oltre la parola, nell'Assoluto, dove l'identificazione con il corpo e con la mente svanisce in un silenzio che non ha bisogno di spiegazioni, dove l'unica voce resta quella che viene da dentro, e sussurra «Io Sono». In questo stato interiore di Coscienza, l'insegnamento più importante, l'unico che dà senso a tutto, emerge forte e chiaro: conoscere se stessi è il fine ultimo della vita. Essere è amore: noi siamo amore, il soffio vitale che precede qualsiasi altra cosa.
