Will I love I Am That?

I love this book! I’ve returned to it many times over the years. It’s my rock. It contains a series of questions and responses of students in dialogue with the well-known Indian sage Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. His teachings are direct, down-to-earth, and very timely, in that they address matters of continued importance to all of us: the nature of reality, suffering, mind, body, agency, fear, happiness, peace…and pretty much every truth you can think of! It’s 550 pages of unadulterated wisdom.   

And finally, the number one spiritual book, in my opinion, is none other than the spiritual classic: I Am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj. I remember reading this in India, and how much time I actually needed to digest the information, although I was already enlightened. In a simple question and answer form, this book illuminates the reader and offers an inner perspective of a highly enlightened modern mystic, living the life of a simple man. Even just one answer from this book can snap you out of the illusion of the ego.
