About the Book

Nisargadatta Maharaj is undoubtedly the Ultimate Alchemist and his non-dual teachings, the Ultimate Alchemy.
This book is a live satsang with Satguru Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, covering rare and unpublished conversations with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj which have been transcribed by his 'evening' translator, Mohan Gaitonde, who had the privilege of being with Him from 1979 to 1981.
The flavour of these talks is heightened by the fact that Mr Gaitonde, being well-versed with Marathi, the language Maharaj spoke, is able to convey all the subtle nuances of Maharaj's potent words of wisdom.
The precious conversations in this book act as a divine catalyst for all those who are eager to leave the banks of miserable seeking and intellectual understanding, and realize the ever-flowing river of Understanding of Who You Are!
If you have not yet transcended the shackles of read and heard knowledge, these intuitive utterances of Nisargadatta will surely help restore the Eternal Ease. In talk after talk, He reminds the readers about their forgotten Richness!
Welcome to the final leap into Nisargadatta's quintessential teachings. If you are waiting for Everything but also ready for Nothing, this book is the perfect touchstone.
Nothing is Everything is indeed Nisargadatta Maharaj's ultimate blessing for the ardent seekers.

Introduction

It is truly an honor to be asked by Mohan and Jayashree Gaitonde, (Maharaj's evening translators) to write an introduction to these recorded dialogues of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj entitled 'Nothing is Everything'.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj paraphrased: Stay at the brink, the space where beingness becomes no-being and no-being becomes being.
As with all of Maharaj's disciples I have ever met, words fail to describe their reverence, devotion and gratitude to their beloved Guru Nisargadatta Maharaj.

For almost 35 years the impact of 'His' teachings have flooded and continue to overwhelm "my illusory existence" with their directness, precision, and ability to both point to, and describe THAT which is indescribable in words.

As a Guru and spiritual mentor Nisargadatta Maharaj changed and shaped the entire course of everyone he touched. I must admit quite frankly, that upon meeting him I had not suspected nor could I even imagine the extraordinary impact, the time I spent with him, would catalyze and bring about. To paraphrase Maharaj:
"The words of a realized man cannot go to waste, they are like seeds, they will wait to the proper time to sprout, but once implanted they will bear their fruit."
In writing an Introduction to Maharaj's teachings, I am reminded of Jean Dunn, (one of Maharaj's closest Western disciples), when she remarked:
"Every sentence Maharaj spoke was like an Upanishad."
Before I proceed with an attempt to describe Maharaj's teaching 'style' and his teachings in a brief and concise manner, first let me relate an interaction I had with him. Hopefully this dialogue might help to provide a window into who he really was, where he was coming from, and the teachings which appeared 'through him.'

Foreword

This book is a live satsang with Satguru Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. T And why will it not be when Maharaj's evening translator Mr Mohan Gaitonde who had the privilege of being with Maharaj from 1979 to 1981 has transcribed these rare and unpublished conversations with Sri Nisargadatta through this book. This book has special importance in the sense that Mr Gaitonde being well-versed with Marathi, the language Maharaj spoke, makes it easier for the reader to uncover the real meaning of Maharaj's words of wisdom. And beloved Guru-brother Dr Stephen Wolinsky, who too had the opportunity of satsang with Maharaj, has kindly shared his introduction to Maharaj's teachings for the benefit of the next generation of seekers of Truth.
It has been my privilege to interact with both Mr Gaitonde and Dr Wolinsky and I thank Mr Mohan and Mrs Jayashree Gaitonde for offering me an opportunity to write this foreword. It is my pleasure to share my gratitude for Satguru Nisargadatta Maharaj through this foreword.
Satguru's words have the potency to awaken and eradicate the disease permanently; if pondered upon, ruminated upon. Nisargadatta Maharaj says, "For the earnest seeker, liberation is possible just by listening to this knowledge." And that is what happened with Nisargadatta Maharaj too after meeting his Guru Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj in 1933.
All those who have already arrived HOME, would certainly not be reading this book. As someone without a disease is most unlikely to visit the doctor for treatment and someone who has already graduated is less likely to apply for school admission
