It's the book of <strong>Nisargadatta Maharaj </strong>that is entitled <strong>I am that</strong> and for me reading it was simply mind blowing. I read not once but three times in a row and I simply refused to read others many years after that. The first time I read it was in 2012 and it was a time when I was very interested about philosophy and spirituality in particular. I was into yoga, meditation and very often I tried to understand what I am meant to do in this life, what is God why do I feel this and that and all sort of related questions. I was in a soul's search that really got cleared and enlightened by this book. It would be very hard to summarize shortly in this comment what is it all about but I can point out that it is not actually written by <strong>Nisargadatta Maharaj </strong>and it's the recordings translated from his numerous talks that he had over decades in his small apartment in Mumbai with people all over the world. The topics are generally spiritual and in relationship with the <strong>Self </strong>or <strong>our ultimate reality and essence</strong> as the master wouldn't accept to discuss on other topics. <strong>Nisargadatta Maharaj </strong>was an Indian spiritual teacher that attained Self realization and became a guru to thousands of people all over the world who seek for his wisdom. He used to point out in simply words how our mind works, how far can it go and understand what is actually or identity and sense of being how are we in relationship with God and very often also about why are we suffering and chasing unfulfilling dreams. His teachings were very similar to the ones of our contemporary <strong>Eckhart Tolle. </strong>For me this book was simply as an answer that I was waiting for years to all of my spiritual questions and I would just agree with his words by any page read. Probably that's why I read the book three times in a row. I just wanted to fully understand and live according to his teachings. It is a books that I encourage anyone interested in spirituality and non dualism to read and very important for me. Definitely life changing. </p>\n<p>Hope you found my insights interesting and wish you a great day!</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3jzc799x","appParentAuthor":"elva1999","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
