Be Still and Know: The “I Am” Path of Self-Realization


The “I Am” meditation taught by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is fundamentally the same path revealed by Sri Ramana Maharshi and echoed by Papaji: the direct return to inner stillness. Ramana Maharshi repeatedly emphasized that the true meaning of “I am” is not a thought but pure Being—God-consciousness itself. “Be still and know that I am God,” he reminds us, pointing to silence as the essence of realization. Nisargadatta’s instruction to abide in the sense of “I Am” and Papaji’s call to “Keep Quiet” converge in one truth: Self-realization blossoms only in silence, stillness, and egoless awareness.

“నేను ఉన్నాను” ధ్యానం – నిసర్గదత్త మహారాజ్ మార్గం (Meditation on “I Am”: The Nisargadatta Maharaj Path)


“నేను ఉన్నాను” అనే భావమే నిసర్గదత్త మహారాజ్ బోధన యొక్క కేంద్రబిందువు. ఇది శరీర-మనస్సు గుర్తింపుల నుండి స్వతంత్రంగా ఉన్న పరిశుద్ధ అసిత్వానుభవం. ఆలోచనలు, గుర్తింపులు, భావోద్వేగాలన్నింటినీ పక్కనపెట్టి కేవలం ‘నేను ఉన్నాను’ అనే భావనలో నిలిచిపోవడం ద్వారా మనస్సు నిశ్శబ్దమవుతుంది; ఆ నిశ్శబ్దమే నిజ స్వరూపానికి ద్వారం. మహారాజ్ చెప్పినట్లుగా, ‘I Am’ అనేది బ్రహ్మానికి ప్రతిబింబం; దానిపై ధ్యానం చేస్తూ చివరకు దానినే దాటి పరబ్రహ్మ స్థితి ప్రత్యక్షమవుతుంది. ఈ సాధన సులభమైనదైనా అత్యంత ప్రభావవంతమైనది.”

Why I Have Gone Into Seclusion


In this candid reflection, Sam opens up about stepping away from social chatter and phone calls—not out of indifference, but as an act of quiet rebellion against the noise of life. He muses that most of our problems arise from the restless mind and its endless buzz, which we often mistake for living. Through this introspective note, he invites readers to pause, sip coffee at sunset, and ponder whether peace begins where the “I, Me, Mine” ends. Honest, humorous, and deeply meditative, Sam’s farewell is less a goodbye and more a gentle nudge toward inner stillness.
