About this listen

Transcribed Talks on Nonduality by One of the Greatest Spiritual Teachers
In this book of key spiritual teachings recorded by one his translators, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we’re not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search 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’re not limited to the body, we find that we are already free, needing no liberation. We discover that we’re not only free, but infinite and boundless.

Sri Nisargadatta met his guru, Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj, at the age of 34 in 1933. Three years later, Sri Nisargadatta realised himself as the Supreme Reality. 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. Undoubtedly one of the greatest spiritual teachers of all time, one can sense his depth of dedication to truth, rather than affluence, recognition, and agenda. 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.

“This well-structured book outlines the fundamental teachings… and will undoubtedly be a significant addition to the Nisargadatta canon.” - Pradeep Apte

I very much liked the comprehensive nature of this book. I listened to many chapters more than once so that I could more fully grasp the meaning. I’m sure others will understand more quickly than I did!

A very in-depth study of yoga principles

This book is full of words from the beginning to the end. Ifind it hard to express how real it is. It is more than worth reading, probably again and again. It could also be worth reading and sitting with and staring out into space. Lose yourself in this one! I found chapter 12 really pivotal. At the end of the book… What can I say. I am not the same. This is one worth reading!

Lose who you think you are in this one!

After listening to all of Vivekananda and some of the puranas, this is my favorite audiobook. It is a perfect summary of what life is truly all about. The search is over for me; the words and instructions are truly from an enlightened man.

I experienced an NDE in 2022. I came across Shri Nisargadatta Maharajji on YouTube. What he taught in those videos I bore witness regarding my experience. I began picking up books like “I Am That” and “Consciousness and the Absolute”. Both of these books are excellent and I highly recommend them. This book is superb and rings true in every detail. Shri Nisargadattaji has become my guru. He has assisted me in integrating my experience.

If you are pondering questions like “who am I” or want to find out more about the non duality philosophy. The contents of the book will provide very profound insights.

This a frantic book. I highly recommend it.

This book is a tremendous guide for Self realization
