For many years, thousands of people came from all over India and the world to listen to Sri Nisargadatta’s teachings. 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. Three years later, Sri Nisargadatta realised himself as the Supreme Reality, the transcendental Self. Sri Nisargadatta met his guru, Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj, at the age of 34 in 1933. We discover that we are not only free, but infinite and boundless. When we realize that we are not limited to the body, we find that we are already free, needing no liberation. 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.Īccording 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. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body.
