What did Nisargadatta Maharaj really mean by “I AM”?

In this episode, we explore the central teaching of Nisargadatta Maharaj, one of the most influential voices in Advaita and non-duality. Drawing from his classic work I Am That, we clarify what the simple sense of “I AM” actually points to — and why it is not an affirmation, mantra, or belief.

This episode covers:

• ​ The difference between “I am this” and pure “I AM”
• ​ Why this teaching is not positive thinking
• ​ The progression in his instruction: person → awareness → the Absolute
• ​ How to practice self-inquiry in daily life
• ​ Common misunderstandings about non-duality
• ​ Why even the sense of “I AM” must eventually be transcended

Whether you are new to non-duality or already familiar with Nisargadatta Maharaj, this episode offers a clear and grounded explanation of his core insight into consciousness and identity.

A calm, direct exploration of one of the most profound teachings on self-knowledge.
