The Nisargadatta Gita by Pradeep Apte.
From the intro:
I
came across a book ‘I Am That’ based on the talks of Sri Nisargadatta
Maharaj. As I began going through it, I just couldn’t put it down, ‘This
is dynamite!’ that’s the immediate feeling I had. I Then began
preparing the text of ‘The Nisargadatta Gita’. In my life, so far, I had
never met a living Guru, is my mere reading or studying of books of the
teachings of all these great men of no avail? This last doubt was
removed while I was editing the script of ‘I am Unborn’ where Sri
Nisargadatta Maharaj answered this very question:
V: Do books replace a Guru?
M:
Yes, books can replace a Guru. At one stage you yourself become a
Guru;then you find out that books are of no use anymore. The Guru is
one, who knows the beginning, continuity and the end of his life and
understands the mind on which the environment has so much impact.( Page,
89, I am Unborn).
This answer came as a big relief and will also come to many like me who have never come across a living Guru in their life.
