Focussed 'I am ' Meditation - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj 

What did you do friend? How did you focus on I am

​@@stevetjokro HE JUST SAID ❤ Nisargadatta had said. No one cares. Reading Tolle, watching RU-vid vids isn't enough 🫢 As a matter of fact; they're useless.

​@stevetjokro I am is the feeling of existence. Try with your eyes closed first and don't give up. The reality of I am will reveal itself to you because all beings know I am intuitively.

@@stevetjokro you can experience this too friend just close your eyes find the silence which is present always everywhere!!! When you identify the silence say i am first recognize the silence and say i am…. Focus on that energy of i am you will sense it !! Its extremely powerful just dedicate 5-6 minutes !!! It will transform your reality that fast !!!

@@stevetjokro First of all, get the body grounded, visualise each body part , stand up with closed eyes , make movements of hands , feet , head and know these movements from within. If you are fully familiar with your home/room , move around slowly, eyes still closed , stop and move , stop and move. Know who is knowing all these activities. Get it's strong bearing and then open the eyes and venture out. Make up the mind that you want to get to the core of this phenomenon. Try to digest every move and make it a daily practice whenever possible. This internal " knower" will expand with time and practice. THEN, you will know.

Very true

Why would someone go for self realization for selfish reasons ? And what could be those self reasons? I am eager to know about it in its true sense . Please help..

@@nikhilabraham5000 Selfrealization means disappearence of the self. So the self will never go there. It comes from the inside ⭐️

You are absolutely correct 🙏

@@brahmahum very good..this will happen surely. Be blessed, for blessed we are!💎⭐️🙏🏼

I have read the book and I have not understood anything. What to do

@@subhashchabbaOM patience, the understanding will come from deep inside, the mind cannot understand what the Soul knows, it will come, it has already brought you to this book💙

Many many thanks for sharing your first hand experience.

@@srinisargadatta It's a pleasure to share with you. I don't find many first hand accounts of progress from others. Perhaps because it is such a treasured thing. Your videos have been wonderful. I resonate with your voice, and your passion and love comes through the narration. Thank you very much. I listen to many of your video creations each week. And after it ends, I find myself one pointed, and a fresh attempt to pierce the I am is attempted. Much love.

Many many thanks

You are most welcome. Glad that you liked.

We are very glad that you found video helpful. Its Maharaj's grace only.🙏

You are welcome 🙏

You are so welcome

Start with only 5 minutes with the ”I am” a few times a day, then longer if it feels okay.

@@Ma86gN thank you

Before doing ”I am”: Calming of thinking mind can be done by Anapana meditation, that is focusing on breath. Or maybe with Vipassana meditation.

Thanks for sharing!

Krushna vandye jagadgurum.......

My pleasure 😊

So true. 🙏

You said it very clearly, nothing more nothing less.🙏

Any time!

@@srinisargadatta 🙏

You are most welcome 🙏

@@srinisargadatta I have a question for you: I don’t recall exactly where he said it, but he said something like: “… you will realize there was no you there at all, all along…” - this to me seems to be the most powerfully and corrosively acidic way of dissolving the ego, if he is implying that it was Parabrahman all along.

Yes downloading helps. Thank you.

Welcome 🙏

We are so happy that you liked the teachings 🙏

​@@srinisargadattaIt's TRUTH and its a path to reach GOD, whom we call BHAGWAN ALLAH ISHWAR GOD AND SO ON

You're most welcome

I totally agree. Thank you.

Will try

Noted your views on 'I am' and apparant confusion around it. When Nisargadatta says 'I am' is first illusion, what he meant was prior to appreance of 'I am' it was Parabhrahman( absolute) state. And that is the only true state. And then suddenly 'I am' appeared which is impermanant , and whole game started , which is ever changing and so it must be unreal , therefore its an illusion. Why, because on it the apparant non existant individual developed its strory which it assumed to be real. Then concept of god ( which is also creation of mind ) came up. So that too must be unreal, therefore an illusion. But the real 'You' ( the parabhrahman) are none of these. Which is true, the absolute truth. So there is no confusion. This is my understanding, please enlighten me if you see any scope of improvement.

You can't get there with logic. The mind can't understand. Stay in the I AM. That's all you need. The clarity and wisdom will come.

@@danielasulek8583 You are absolutely correct. But to come to this conclusion and conviction one first intectually understands the fundamentals and clears his/ her doubts and as the practice on 'I am ' advances then he/she sets aside this logic and goes deeper to get first hand experience.

@@srinisargadatta you are absolutely RIGHT.I am saying this because since the day I posted my predicament to this date 100 percent change has happened in my body mind intellect covering.I AM is just like I AM of our daily dreams,that DREAMER IAM becomes waker when we wake up ,in the same way present IAM dissolves into SUPER WAKER OR ORIGINAL WAKER presence ,the immutable,timeless permanant state.i remember Swami Chinmayananda(chinmaya mission bombay)statement HE says extract yourself ,the spirit,from terrible embrace of matter(body mind intellect)and come out in your freedom.( lord Krishnas statement in Geeta) In daily life dreamer I am and waker iam are one and the same but they can never meet each other,in the same way present I AM and higher true IAM are one and the same but they cannot meet ,present I AM dissolves into THAT and disappears ,that is why this I AM is called illusion.

@@sharadcs6565 Thats quite an elaborate explanation . Its clear and precise and added more insights in my understanding of the I Am. Many thanks for sharing your wisdom and actual experience.

This soothing meditative track has been taken from one of the videos of well known Buddhist Monk Samneri Jaysara. when I asked her 'Your voice is truly divine . It would be good to attribute the music piece. Can you please give us the source/ author of the soundtrack.' I got reply from her ' It was a gift of music that I received privately from a listener.' So what I can do now is to share a Google drive link of the Track . If you wish you can download it from the link below- drive.google.com/file/d/1AtatDm1S60Ouv7_8_4BqLljlpjaceLPW/view?usp=drivesdk No atribution is needed. Thank you.

@@srinisargadatta Many, many thanks! It’s for personal use. I found it very powerful.🙏

Nisargadatta never ignored the importance of daily living. Please do not force yourself to stay in Absolute using power of will. Let's use the analogy of a movie screen , what it means is, when you are busy cooking , looking after family , then you are enacting the role of family man/woman on the screen and one tends to loose oneself in role so much so that the blank screen is completely forgotten. . But remember that screen is always present in background , the Absolute is always there in background . Just you are not aware of it. And that is okay and perfectly fine 🙏

Happy to know that this meditation really clams you down. Thanks for your suggestion. Are you asking exactly the same video with longer gaps and toned down a music a bit. Currently it is approximately 33 minutes , with added silence it will stretch to 60min. Please let me know.

हिंदी में आप ' मै हुं ' बोल सकते हो🙏❤️

There is no program to follow. No timetable to adehere to. A good book of his, written from the scribe and was his closest disciple "maurice friedman" is "I am that". He rarely spoke of the personal journey, hour by hour. As his life was very busy. For him the moment was ever present.

Yes, we have already uploaded such a video a couple of days ago.

I choose speed 0,5x to slow it down and better understand.

Awareness or absolute or Parabhrahman is primary the most fundamental. This awareness is not aware of itself. Then out of no reason or cause , when so called birth takes place, the baby becoms concious. This conciousness is just an aspect of primordial awareness. You can call conciousness God, spirit, soul or by any other name.

Yes it's the same. But at slightly different points in its development. But it's the same truth. Both will lead you to your goal. Ramana is talking about the "I am" too. I am is the very beginning of ego, at its earliest state. Its basically the awareness becoming aware it has now "come about" in some form or another. By staying in the I am, over time it steadily becomes purified. And reverts back further and further into your childhood state. You sometimes briefly remember that you've felt this I am state at a very young age. It's like going back in time in a sense. The I thought is the basics of being, the point at which all rises in manefestation. The more you stay in it, and shun all else, the more purified it gets. Until it vanishes. There is a short cut however, and can be used as a "taster only"... but it doesn't hold for long. That's found by remaining steadfast in the I am sense without thought without any prior pratice of meditation. Its a type of "forced stoppage of thought". But it's not something advisable. I just stumbled upon it in my early practice. In some cases, it can vanish within 20 mins sometimes. But it doesn't last, because you need to gradually eliminate and purify the baggage surrounding "I am". Done steadily and patiently however it holds and is irreversible. A permanent state of peace and bliss. Be patient, do it in your own time and with perseverance. All will be yours. Because it is yours.

This apparent paradox is a hallmark of Nisargadatta Maharaj's teachings. He's pointing to two different aspects of the "I am": 1. "I am" as the essence: Here, he's referring to the true Self, the unchanging, eternal essence that lies beyond the ego and the conditioned mind. This "I am" is the fundamental reality, the source of everything. 2. "I am" as the ego: In this context, he's referring to the egoic self, the conceptual identity that arises from the conditioning of the mind. This "I am" is impermanent, changing, and will eventually disappear. In essence, Nisargadatta Maharaj is distinguishing between the true, eternal "I am" (the Self) and the false, impermanent "I am" (the ego). The egoic "I am" will indeed disappear, but the true "I am" (the Self) remains, unchanged and unchanging. Think of it like a wave (ego) and the ocean (Self). The wave will rise and fall, but the ocean remains, unchanged. The wave is not the ocean, but it's not separate from it either. Similarly, the egoic "I am" is not the true Self, but it's not entirely separate from it either. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's teachings can be complex, but they're incredibly profound and insightful. Unpacking these paradoxes and nuances can be a fascinating journey of self-discovery. Remember, the goal of his teachings is not to create a intellectual understanding, but to point you towards a direct experience of the truth. So, take your time, reflect on these ideas, and see how they resonate with your own experiences and insights. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! I'm here to help you navigate these teachings and explore the depths of the true Self.

@@srinisargadatta I agree with your points, however it's important to make a clear distinction then, between the "I am" and the ego self, as to not confuse initiates more. Other teachers make a clear distinction .

Its a good question sir. Please note, 'I am' is conciousness , the presence. When we are meditating conciousness is looking at itself ( witnessing). Then the stage comes even conciousness disappears. That is even 'I am ' dissolves and only absolte remains . Thats your true state, that is who you are.🙏

Than you so much. Now I understand. And I also went down from the beginning and reading all the versus. You did an amazing work. Everyone who is is in a spiritual path should subscribe to your channel. I feel very blessed to have found you🙏🙏🙏 And I am a she😐🙏

@@yerusalemmussie3352 Good to know that you found the video useful , and sorry for addressing you He.😊

🙏another question I have in the Gita verses he keep saying you are made of 5 elements and 3 qualities. I know the 5 elements I never heard of the 3 qualities, what are they?🙏🙏🙏

@@yerusalemmussie3352 There are three gunas(qualities), according to this worldview, that have always been and continue to be present in all things and beings in the world. These three gunas(qualities) are called: sattva (goodness, calmness, harmonious), rajas (passion, activity, movement), and tamas (ignorance, inertia, laziness).

Consciousness without content. Consciousness confronting itself.

It is highly subjective. I love it. Enquire who likes and dislikes it. ❤

'I am' sometimes also referred as Stillness, presence,being,God. Its like gold in all jewellery. But certainly its not egoic 'i' with its various identities.

@@srinisargadatta Ok. Pls help me to understand and know what to say after I AM?.

You may say 'I am' That , Truth, conciousness,bliss Sat,Chit,Ananda 'I am' the supreme reality. Avilable always Right here Right now. 🙏

I don't know about other Gurus but I can say with certainity that Nisargadatta Maharaj did not party. He was a ordinary householder and to support his family he used to sell Beedies ( rolled cigarettes ) . He got his initiation when he was 36 and at the age of 39 he was self realized. I suggest, you read his life story before you make such silly allegations. Your sarcastic remarks are unfortunate and immature. Now as for as old age is concerned , he was not for any name and fame. He became well known only during his later part of life, was it his fault?

@Tej Thanks for your views
