I saw that in the ocean of pure awareness, on the surface of the universal consciousness, the numberless waves of the phenomenal worlds arise and subside beginninglessly and endlessly. Maharaj: Pleasure and pain lost their sway over me. Questioner: What happened? What was the change? Maharaj: I met my Guru when I was 34 and realised by 37. Questioner: Kindly tell us how you realised. Trusting him, I behaved accordingly and ceased caring for what was not me, nor mine. He told me I am nothing but my self and I believed him. I hope you find the following quotes both instructive and inspiring for your own sadhana, I have not added any commentary as I think the excerpts speak for themselves, but I have added bold text to emphasize specific points I thought would be of use for seekers in terms of making the sadhana practical. The following are direct quotes from I Am That focusing on what Nisargadatta spoke of his own sadhana (spiritual practice) and the teachings of his own Guru. In his most widely read book, ‘I Am That’, Nisargadatta speaks many times of his practice and the profound effect his own guru had upon him. Nisargadatta Maharaj often spoke about his own spiritual journey and practice, and how his guru’s teachings led him to his own eventual self-realisation.
