"I Am That" is a book of talks with Nisargadatta, a late-20th-century Guru of the Nath sect. From the book's Introduction: "Uneducated though the Master is, his conversation is enlightened to an extraordinary degree. Though born and brought up in poverty, he is the richest of the rich, for he has the limitless wealth of perennial knowledge, compared to which the most fabulous treasures are mere tinsel. He is warm-hearted and tender, shrewdly humorous, absolutely fearless and absolutely true -- inspiring, guiding and supporting all who come to him." Please buy I Am That, wherever you buy your books. It is a "must."

Quotes specifically referring to 'I am' were excerpted and grouped into four parts, the first two being introductory and the last two relating to ways of knowing 'I am' and to the nature of 'I am'. A fifth part was later added; it includes portions of text that were originally left out.

The reformatting I have done here came about due to an effect I basically stumbled on to when I was reading some of Nisargadatta's material in a text editor. I found that if I clipped the line lengths to match the flow of thoughts then the whole thing suddenly became clearer and easier to understand. I mean, to me, it became a lot easier to grasp and follow.
