'I am that by which I know"I am"'... In this collection of talks between master and devotee, the final discourses of Sri Nisargadatta before his death, we can recognise the voice of a truly original teacher. His way is that of atma yoga, the essential yoga of self-inquiry/ His words are simple, direct and yet subtle, charged with a powerful energy they cut through the self-imposed barriers of the mind to reach the borderline between Beingness and Non-Beingness. In language clear and astringent as water from a deep well Sri Nisargadatta demands nothing less than the complete abandonment of desire, even for spiritual experience, and offers in return nothing less than the pure awareness of Self which is beyond desire - the true bliss of Transcendence. For those who are earnest in their search for Self these discourses are a precious gift. --- from book's back cover
