Summary
Talks on nonduality by one of the greatest spiritual teachers
In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. 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 realize that we are not limited to the body, we find that we are already free, needing no liberation. We discover that we are 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, the transcendental Self. 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)

Blossom into the Ultimate
For me, the search for truth which has sometimes seemed complex and even overwhelming at times was made brilliantly simple in listening to Nisargadatta Maharaj’s talks in this well curated and to the point audio book. Somehow having the words in spoken form cut through my mind like a razor blade and brought an immediate stillness and peace into my life. I enjoy continuing to listening to the book as I go for a walk in nature or go about chores at home for a refresher on the non-dual message and to keep being pointed in the right direction. If you are new to spirituality this book would be a great place to start and may be all you ever need, or if you are well versed in non-duality, it offers a great new way to realize Nisargadatta Maharaj again in our lives. Thank you for bringing this into the world!

Outstanding audibook!
Having read most of the books out there on Sri Nisargadatta’s teachings I thought that I had pretty much heard or read the fundamentals of his teachings. However “I am on the body” gave me a fresh new outlook on these teachings and deepened my understanding on our true nature. Highly recommend!

Lovely exposition of Nisargadatta's teachings
A very good account of Nisargadatta's teachings done in a clear no-nonsense way. I very much liked the appendix which summarises the teachings in less than 30mins.

Invaluable
As a follower of Nisargadatta, I was thrilled with the release of this audiobook.
Unlike 'I am that', the 1970's book which first brought Nisargadatta's teachings to the west, I found this instalment to include a lot more practical approaches to the 'I am' teaching. The transmission did not seem as powerful as 'I am that', however it was just as helpful and useful for me.
Highly recommended. If you haven't checked out 'I am that' (audible, please consider selling this soon) then perhaps this book would be a good way to start. 10/10 narration.

Disentangle from the illusion.
A nice summary of Nisargadatta’s ‘I Am That’ and an important aid to any ernest spiritual seeker. Study what’s being expended like a school lesson, then let it wash over you and absorb. The way of using intellect itself to see the Truth that’s beyond mind. To start identifying and letting go of everything that is not the true Self.
