The Nisargadatta Gita by Pradeep Apte - Part 14

read by James Traverse





The Nisargadatta Gita
Pradeep Apte
 

14.The ‘I am’ is the permanent link in
the succession of events called life, be at
the link ‘I am’ only and go beyond it.

Conception, birth and infancy, these are the beginnings
 of your being where the ‘I am’ lies dormant.

 Then there is the spontaneous appearance of the non-verbal
feeling ‘I am’ around say three years of age.

On this foundation of the knowledge ‘I am’ is built a
large structure of words, ideas and concepts and very
soon it is ‘I am so and so’ and so forth.

The pure ‘I am’ is contaminated and it piles on right from
childhood to old age, but in all the succession of events,
 the ‘I am’ lies at the base and has always been there.

The ‘I am’ is an unbroken link throughout your life, so
 come back to it, abide there and try to transcend it,
 for there lies your True being.
