    Maurice Frydman did the world a great favor and this is such a lucid, accessible and profound translation. How many would even know of Sri Nisargadatta Mararaj Ji were it not for the painstaking work of his translations? And first for knowing that the world needed access to Nisargadatta's luminous, profound and accessible teachings. Two of the most significant people in my life. Namaste.

    Yes, i feel it the same way. If you here nissargedatta speak, you almost think he s rambeling some words out of the blue. But when you listen to his audiobook i am that, you can't find a word that has fluf in it. All words consist truth as an expression of that oneness he speaks about. It's just perfect and I imagine that s extremely rare to find it in a book or elsewhere

    He says "By repeated attempts you will stumble upon the right combination of attention and afection and you will be permanently established in I AM." This "balance of attention and affection and "I am" are an explanation of SatChitAnanda. (Truth/being-awareness/consciousness - Joy/hapiness.

    He says also (not in this recording but in another one I often listen to) "Just be aware. And affectionate, intensely" Be=Sat. Aware=Chit. Affectionate=Ananda. "I AM" = Intense being/awareness/affection is SatChitAnanda. Those 3 Sanskrit words are put together as one word To express that they are 3 qualities that radiate from one source. "I AM". -Awareness IS being/truth and perfect contentment. - Being/truth IS contentment and awareness. -Loving contentment IS true being and knowing consciousness. They are inseparable. We know nothing about any feeling or sense perception without awareness and we can't "be" aware without being. And that being aware is also peaceful content lovingness. Not love given or love received but just the experience of loving while also receiving that love. Why even say any of this or make these points? I find lately that 'being' itself or awareness of anything is loving joy itself. It's so simple I overlooked it my whole life. That simple pleasure we enjoy in deep sleep we can enjoy consciously. It might seem like I'm just making an academic point and trying to sound smart (sure Maybe I'm doing that too haha) but here is the value of my point: Say you feel pain or confusion or disappointment or even suicidal despair. There is no knowing of those feelings without awareness. Before any of that cognition can happen there must first be awareness. And that awareness itself is the True perfection of contentment. So I can actually USE any good or bad or neutral experience to reach true peaceful happiness by following it backward into *I Am*. This is also true for any blissful feeling. These are also dependent upon SatChitAnanda which is much more perfect and which depends on nothing! Yet all the experiences we consider pleasant must eventually become experiences of pain just as any painful experience must give way to pleasure once again. But this SatChitAnanda is dependent upon nothing but the absolute reality itself. I'm not a spiritual teacher. Just another guy like most of you. I don't usually write lengthy diatribes like this. I just want to share what seems like a VERY helpful insight to me. It seems like a lot of words for such a simple idea but I just want to make sure I say it as clearly as I can. I am often experiencing pain and depression and every time I investigate using this method, I find this does inevitably lead to peace. It's the reason that "I Am" is the answer to all problems. I didn't just come to this conclusion today. I've been testing it out for over a year through some very tough times. I know this is not the perfection of awakening but I find it is a way out of any suffering if I am brave and honest enough to apply it to the situation. So I just can't help but want to share this!I I also understand this is not anything new and that teachers have been teaching this since ancient times. But it finally became clear to me and I just want to share it in the particular way it occurred to me. If it helps you as well, then fantastic! I humbly submit it for consideration. If I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me soon. 😇
