To all of you who have listened to this, please understand that it is the greatest gift to you. I am not young anymore. About 35 years ago I stumbled upon this truth. I did not meditate or contemplate. It came out of the blue. Ever since, I have searched for an explanation for my experience and found that the closest was Sri Nisargadatta's. Every single word in these pointers is true and truth. In the true state, there's no good or bad, no Sinners or Saints, no polarities, no here or there, no yesterday or tomorrow, no life or death. Dear friend, uncondition yourself as you listen to these words. I can't prove them to be true. I only know them to be true. Whenever you are confused or troubled, come back to these words. I hope you too will fall into the State one day.
Hello Murali, I would really like to connect with you. I too am not young anymore, and before I make the final exit, I would very much like to ‘know’ as you do. I have been in search for the last 45 years and I seem to be no nearer today than the day I first started. I know that Shri Nisarargadattaji’s pointing should be sufficient. And it is. Must I just wait ‘my turn’? Would love to get in touch with you. Pranams.
@@dougietabla5948 Dear Dougie, Nisargadatta said that the seeking is the problem. On one hand, there must be extreme will to become liberated, and on the other, wanting enlightenment is also an impediment. One does not have to be "worthy" because this immense non entity does not judge us. Don't be disheartened and think that liberation is only for the lucky few and deserving. There are very few who can truly fathom Nisargadatta's teachings. If, in listening to his words, you sometimes sense what he is alluding to with something other than your brain, then you are getting it. Have you read the Krishnamurti's Notebook or Reader? Refer to his references to the "immensity". The poetry of William Blake, Rabindranath Tagore, Walt Whitman, Rumi amongst others, also help a great deal. We, and every thing we perceive is truly Maya. As Nisargadatta said, how can we die when we were not born? We are all a totality without individual identities. We are a timeless whole who have been tricked by birth, consciousness and physical death into believing that we are separate from everything else. I remember a story about a Zen monastery where many seekers were trying over many years to achieve the ultimate state ,which is described as a Satori in Japanese. The story goes, that a cleaner walked into the monastery one day to sweep the floor. Much to the chagrin of aspirants, he fell into a Satori state the moment he stepped inside. He had no idea what the seekers were seeking and came inside with absolutely no intention of doing anything other than to sweep the place clean. If we have spent most of our lives seeking Truth, it is indeed very difficult to stop. The more we seek, the more it eludes us. Don't harbor the feeling that our time here is limited and that we must "achieve " liberation.
@@muralinarayanasamy8448 Thank you ever so kindly for taking the time to respond. I can feel that my ‘trying’ is quite stifling, and intuitively does not feel quite right. From now on, whenever I listen to the words of Maharaji, I shall try to listen from my heart and not my mind. I shall also read more from the great poets that you mentioned. Once again, thank you, Muraliji, for sharing your wisdom.
As a very young child, I felt the immense power of pure consioucness. I used to meditate, without knowing what meditation is, and whole my adult life I've tried to replicate those feelings and looked for clues in science, psychology and philosophy to support my strong intuitive feeling about consciousness and myself. Stumbling upon Nisargadatta's great wisdom, I finally realized that I found the gold. We are all timeless beings. If you truly understand what he's saying, I'd like to congratulate you. If you don't understand, don't worry, eventually you'll get there, because we are all one. Break the chains you have carried for your whole life and you'll understand his teachings.
i am 74 yrs old but I reborn in 1 year before starting from listening to osho and my life change totally . i shun all poisons and now I am tasting the nectar of life. thanks phil
@@user-qb4on2qm7z At the beginner stage we have to consider the self as something to aquire. Of course it is nonsensical, but the habbit of the mind is nonsensical anyway. Otherwise we would not look into it. Concepts are first needed to remove other concepts. It is very simple. As long as we read books, have discussions about it, we are in the realm of thinking. And while everything might be understood perfectly on an intelectual level, the mind will not believe it fully until at least some sort of experience is made. Because nothing else will convince the mind that we are talking about something "actual" that really is. In my experience the "i am the body idea" is so ingrained into us that one cannot succeed by intellect. It is only possible if you are willing to die, which means to let go of everything. Otherwise the persona, will not be dropped.
I want to let you know that in 2015 something awful happened to me & I was ill & wanted to die, by 2018 I was bed bound with no ability to read or interest in anything- I’m not sure how I came upon this podcast but when I heard it it really soothed me. For about a year I just listened every night it was like the energy entered me, I also read a course in miracles, anyway it changed my life, I have a completely new life, I am so happy, I am healed. I also reversed diabetes. Thank u very much for recording & posting this, it kept me alive and started me on this new beautiful path ❤❤❤
I have been listening to this for few years now. It is life shattering and if I could go back in time, I might even warn myself to avoid this. Yet, I come back to it almost every night and listen to it while going to bed. It rips through the world I live in. The world in which I or the world do not exist other than in the bubble of the present moment in consciousness. There is nothing to stand or to hold on to. My world is entirely mine and I carry the entire universe in my thought stream. This listening creates a gap in the stream some times and it is frightening to realize that all that I am attached to and hold to be real is just the mind. It is an explosion that has shattered my illusion. As Nisargadatta Maharaj said it - pursuit of self-realization is the most dangerous thing you will ever do because it will destroy you.
This is the most direct Self Knowledge video available. Listening to this particular recording regularly, frees one of anxiety. Feel Sheer Gratitude for this priceless find. 🙏🏼
Nisargadatta is very direct, but John Wheeler is perhaps even more direct and clear in my view. I have some audiobooks by Nisargadatta and Wheeler on my channel page, just have a look and let me know what you think.
The energy is not buddhic, so it does get better, a live awake teacher speaking truth followed by them doing a TH-cam video. I am very blessed or cursed to be very energy sensitive and this is uncomfortable. So. It does get better but thanks anyway.
Such beauty and truth in these comments. I, or whoever, awakened a great bit at noon today. This Sat. April 28th, 2023. So subtle and smooth. Hardly a transition at all. I went from fear and doom which has been going on since 4 months ago. Deeply afraid of death. And suddenly everything was different. Loss of separation of self. Great joy and optimism. It was felt like a dark spell had broken and I thrust into the light. Fear left me completely. Death dropped away. It's so silly! Such misery, when no need for it. The words of this meditation drive me deeper and deeper. Every sentence. Our time in this world now appears grim and precipitous. But, from the higher Self, there are no problems. I realize the world I lived in for the past 62 years was pure projection and the world and the people became that. I believed that brutal insane world. It's not true! Everything, after all, is quite lovely and parsimonious. 😊
Yes, yes it is. One disagreement I have with other saints and sages is the teaching of having to be detached and HAVING to be this or that, HAVING to remain, HAVING to etc. You dont have to be, do or think anything. You dont have to follow the advice of sages to live a life of solitude in the mountains. You can never stop being the absolute, you get to choose however you want to live. Just live from your original identity, as Parabramhan the one above all concepts, master of masters, god of gods, lord of lords. This is why I say that there are 5 great religions. In order, Bhuddism, Advaita Vedanta, Taosim, Christianity, and Judaism. The latter 2 invert the teachings of the first 3. The inversion of residing in self is to consciously choose your reality by feigning ignorance. That is what manifestation is itself.
The most beautiful voice for the most stunning being. This heart is soo full. Smile hasn't left this face. Thank you for this Philip. What a great surprise
Tony: We don't want to get devotional to anybody. That is exactly the message of the highest sages Jiddu, Nisargadanda and Thich Nhat Hanh. When you dissolve the Ego you no longer want to latch on to any group or guru. But you will really Love everybody including the great sages. On eye level. And unconditionally.
The Inner workings and infrastructure of our Internal System requires us to balance our Emotional and Physical/Mental sides so as to prepare the instrument for our Spiritual ascent! Before that no devotional action is possible as the ego and relative super ego that these two institutions of Ida and Pingala just come into action. To put yourself on par with evolved Sages and Saints is another example of this expression!
Quickest journey to the truth with only a few words. That is why this would never be religion. I thank all these Gurus for their teachings... it’s an invisible hand holding 🙏🏼
If you have stumbled upon this please realise that Gods Grace has descended upon you. I listen to it in the morning during brahm mahuratam as meditation. Please internalize and accept completely what he has said. Then the proof of the pudding will be found in the eating. You will know that it IS. A million salutations 🙏
only your appearance has meaning, without it you are nothing, not even aware that you are nothing. Celebrate the miracle of being you, desiring to be the ocean is to be ungrateful, is to desire the emptiness of death. Reality is being you now, all else are concepts, ideas without proof. what is will be what is whether you know it or not.
These are really Ultimate pointers! Thank you Phil and Pradeep Apte.

This is by far the greatest treasure I have encountered. Thank you Parbrahm, Thank you Nisargadatta Maharaj, Thank you Pradeep Apte, Thank you Phil Philms and everybody who made this possible. This is indeed a gift that keeps giving, Precious beyond words!!!!! ✨✨✨🙏✨✨✨
People who understand this on an intellectual level but have difficulty incorporating it into their everyday experience might think of it this way: You are not a person looking for the absolute, you are the absolute playing that it is a person. Then you will realise that your self-image and your self-perception are mere illusions that have become habitual through conditioning. Just be in the moment and try to feel like you were totally satisfied. And remember that you are not a person.
Wow. Wow, Jor'Ghal. I got a glimpse of that today looking at a 3d fractal on a Brian Scott video. You said that deeply: ...you are the absolute playing that it is a person. I feel that. Thank you.
I am love. I am peace. I am pure and eternal. I am the knower, the known, and the knowing. And yet, I am none of these. For, when these cease to be, I still am. I know that I cannot know my Absolute Self. Yet, I cannot say that I do not know It, for without It, there could be no knowing at all. I cannot know It, I can only be It. I cannot become It, because I always was. Before anything was, I AM. After everything is, I AM.
No, he said the 'I am' will disappear and you will be the timeless unborn without awareness (he said the absolute has no awareness of itself) What he is saying is death is a state of being dead, ie. no awareness.
I'm a buddhist monk and I know many buddhist people are so traditional that they believe only Buddha's teachings are correct but all the other religions and teachings are wrong. It is true that teaching of many religions nowadays are wrong because they have given wrong interpretations to core teachings of their religions. If anyone correctly practice buddhist teachings and then look at core teachings of other sages such as Jesus, Mahamud, Osho, Maharaj, or if you look at Mula mantra of Sikh religion, will come to know that all teachers points to the same truth but in different perspectives. I personally think Buddha's teachings are well organised and people in different levels can start from where they are. Teachings of Maharaj can be followed by peoples who already has so much wisdom.
Seven years later, this heart is directed back to this video repeatedly. it is not religion or entertainment…. its timeless, life changing Eyeopener, priceless, the missing piece to the Puzzle of Life, most Unique and The Supreme Content on TH-cam!!!!
Pem Das -- A year later and this is still my bedtime lullaby. Def one of the bests gifts ever. I hope this finds you healthy and content. All blessings.
This is a true gift and I listen everyday, letting the words penetrate and bring me the deepest peace. So well articulated and beautifully read. Such clarity which evokes the knowing and the sense of remembering or knowing that which is beyond remembering or knowing so truly evoking the Absolute/noumen in the present phenomenal manifestation. Sadguru Parabarhman Thank you
Such a beautiful presentation of Sri Nisargadatta teachings. The silences between the words and the low music are just perfect. Much gratitude to all involved in making this video. 🙏🕉
Profound. Speaks to the very core of my being and is creating an earthquake that is shaking loose all the defenses of the ego....peacefully and without fear. Thank you for this. My wish is that all beings on earth come to realize the truths presented here. And I see that all will.
don't even know what to say. It changes so much. Thanks you PhilPhilms. Thank you Consciousness for pointing us to the ultimate truth, in the form of PhilPhilms :-)
Danilo Di Bonaventura Ha,if you weren't "lost", you would not be able yo hear it. It means you died as ego.(mind).to be able to receive this in your heart.
When you stumble across the ultimate truth. It resonates perfectly with your entire being. You know you have finally found it. All thoughts stop. There is a bliss that enters every cell in the body as you suck in every word resonating with it , in complete immersion of the mind and the soul
If it is ever possible to post 'The Nisargadatta Ultimatum Pointers' as a series of shorter TH-cam videos or chapters to share with friends, post on FB or listen to chosen sections that would be greatly appreciated. _/|\_
So profound! It hit me like a hammer to my head the first time when I heard this. Since then I listen to it quite often and every time I listen, I’ll discover more and different drops of truth. Thank you so much!
Hammer or not have you transformed has ur life changed do you behave differently,if not all you have is confusion. May you realise that you are not the understanding principle, only the witness. This is when the grace and humility will be the only important aspect of your being. 😅
I've seen so many poorly done spiritual videos on TH-cam. This one is quite the opposite -- extremely well-chosen quotes, an outstanding reader, and while Zia Mohiuddin Dagar is one of my all-time favorite musicians, I am so glad that his music is kept subtly in the background and does not interfere with the reading. This video should be put forward as an example of how to produce a video of spiritual readings. I am very grateful for this beautiful work. Much gratitude to everyone involved in producing it and making it available.
My dad got a Naam from Nisargadatt Maharaj when he used to go to him with his mom. My grandma became his devotee as she used to worship Datta Guru since childhood, one BrahmaRakshas came behind her and warned her in her dreams that he would take all her children away.. And then she met Nisargadatt Maharaj and that same person came in her dream and said now u got a powerful man, so I am leaving you now. So I must say with Nisargadatt Maharaj grace, my whole dad family (he and his siblings and his mom) got saved from the most powerful Rakshas called BrahmaRakshas... And we still chant his name and got another Guru of same Guru Lineage..
@@PhilPhilms yes he used to live in Mumbai only,and Maharaj Ashram was also nearby in Mumbai only.. BrahmaRakshas is the most powerful demon and he left her Cz he said that she got a man who is more powerful than him and thats none but Nisargadatt Maharaj .. As per Hinduism, there are bhoot pret pishach and BrahmaRakshas in ascending order.. Pret more powerful than bhoot, pishach more dangerous than Pret and bhoot.. And BrahmaRakshas is most dangerous but they're rare.. A man who was a pandit in temple if he uses the money of the Gods for his personal benefits (that is donations of temple for buying car house for himself) then after death he gets a yoni of BrahmaRakshas, so brahm means Brahmin (here Pandit) as they have studied Vedas shastras mantras during their lifetime but Because of one big bad karma of using God's money they get this yoni after death and they are most powerful as they have learnt everything shastras Vedas Puranas when they wear alive
This is just.. perfect! The perfect voice for the perfect teaching. Thank you very much! What's powerful about these words is that they refer directly to who we are, without having to 'find a way' so to speak. The absolute self is revealed as we listen to these statements instead of the individual person trying to dissolve itself. Thus they truly are pointers to the ultimate.
this is so powerful and this is the ultimate truth i have experienced it directly,it is so much and nothing at the same that hear it put it in a so perfect and clever way made me shed a tear,thank you,i never heard nisargadatta,i just knew the name.
Thank you Phil. This is it the ultimate knowledge. The ultimate of all things to know. It’s too profound of average humans to grasp. But then again he was the guru of all gurus
temperance in my days of youth, I believed I was very powerful. Every day was a new challenge with tougher opponents. Today, I know I am nothing, a mere illusion. Every day is a new illusion awaiting my manifestation. I now know that those daily opponents, were only myself pushing myself off the clift. In death, I found myself in the trees, in the waters, I am here with you in mind.
I also really enjoy Sri Ramana Maharshi. 👐🙌 I have also liked watching lots of Master Sri Avinash recently. #SriAvinash I find Sri Avinash's Satsang teachings really comforting and helpful in my life.
Out of all that which I have found in this life, this video has been by far the most healing, fulfilling, and liberating energy I have ever encountered. God Bless 💜
My life has felt like a failure. But in my 24th year of life, I "reached" enlightenment. Ill make it easier for everyone. We are 4 layers deep. All these layers are us, as all existence all beings all things, that have, will and can be exist as the one. The first layer is the body, the second is the mind/ego, the third is awareness/consciousness/bramhan, and what you are is parabramhan. Bramhan is the manifest consciousness, parabramhan is the unmanifest consciousness, the one who is conceptless. Now, let me explain. At first you become aware of existing when there are no thoughts, thats freedom from the ego. Then heres the crazy part, realize that you are aware of being awareness. Thus proving that you can not be awareness but the one who is aware of awareness. If you know the nature of awareness as pure stillness you will understand its void. Nisargadatta refers to being aware of nothing or being aware of the stillness/void/awareness. Thus parabramhan can never be known (viewed or become aware of) it can only be experienced. When you experience being parabramhan youre in a state of samadhi. This knowledge isnt a secret, its more about your depth. For no matter how pure the knowledge, the self will never reveal itself to the eyes of the deluded seeker (one of my favorite lines from the Astavakra Gita)
xanbex Me, too! It was total coincidence. I was actually laid up in bed with a VERY sore back for three days and recorded this just to have something to do 😅 Never would have guessed that it would be so well-received 😍
Can't describe it in words, however I'll try. I have never read books like this, I'm in awe. I can't believe such Guru exists ( cause one never dies ). Thank you.
Hi Phil, This discussion you have lovingly created is also one of my favorites, among the many on your channel. Thank you so much for these wonderful pointers and reminders. Much love and peace to you, brother.

Simply brilliant and a n absolte life - saver - to everybody who listens to this : Congratulations !!!!
Such beauty and truth in these comments. I, or whoever, awakened a great bit at noon today. This Sat. April 28th, 2023. So subtle and smooth. Hardly a transition at all. I went from fear and doom which has been going on since 4 months ago. Deeply afraid of death. And suddenly everything was different. Loss of separation of self. Great joy and optimism. It was felt like a dark spell had broken and I thrust into the light. Fear left me completely. Death dropped away. It's so silly! Such misery, when no need for it. The words of this meditation drive me deeper and deeper. Every sentence. Our time in this world now appears grim and precipitous. But, from the higher Self, there are no problems. I realize the world I lived in for the past 62 years was pure projection and the world and the people became that. I believed that brutal insane world. It's not true! Everything, after all, is quite lovely and parsimonious. 😊
Yes, yes it is. One disagreement I have with other saints and sages is the teaching of having to be detached and HAVING to be this or that, HAVING to remain, HAVING to etc. You dont have to be, do or think anything. You dont have to follow the advice of sages to live a life of solitude in the mountains. You can never stop being the absolute, you get to choose however you want to live. Just live from your original identity, as Parabramhan the one above all concepts, master of masters, god of gods, lord of lords. This is why I say that there are 5 great religions. In order, Bhuddism, Advaita Vedanta, Taosim, Christianity, and Judaism. The latter 2 invert the teachings of the first 3. The inversion of residing in self is to consciously choose your reality by feigning ignorance. That is what manifestation is itself.
The most beautiful voice for the most stunning being. This heart is soo full. Smile hasn't left this face. Thank you for this Philip. What a great surprise
Thank you Sabine!
I agree. Thanks Phil.
Don't get emotional or you will bottle up and boost the ego.....rather get devotional to open the Heart and expand!!!
Tony: We don't want to get devotional to anybody. That is exactly the message of the highest sages Jiddu, Nisargadanda and Thich Nhat Hanh. When you dissolve the Ego you no longer want to latch on to any group or guru. But you will really Love everybody including the great sages. On eye level. And unconditionally.
The Inner workings and infrastructure of our Internal System requires us to balance our Emotional and Physical/Mental sides so as to prepare the instrument for our Spiritual ascent! Before that no devotional action is possible as the ego and relative super ego that these two institutions of Ida and Pingala just come into action.
To put yourself on par with evolved Sages and Saints is another example of this expression!
Quickest journey to the truth with only a few words. That is why this would never be religion. I thank all these Gurus for their teachings... it’s an invisible hand holding 🙏🏼
🙏💙
YES!!!!!
If you have stumbled upon this please realise that Gods Grace has descended upon you.
I listen to it in the morning during brahm mahuratam as meditation. Please internalize and accept completely what he has said. Then the proof of the pudding will be found in the eating. You will know that it IS. A million salutations 🙏
"You can only be what you are in reality. You can only appear as what you are not." This is so simple, yet deeply profound.
Being what I am not seems more desirable than timeless unawareness.
Poetic, not profound.
As
It
Is
only your appearance has meaning, without it you are nothing, not even aware that you are nothing. Celebrate the miracle of being you, desiring to be the ocean is to be ungrateful, is to desire the emptiness of death. Reality is being you now, all else are concepts, ideas without proof. what is will be what is whether you know it or not.
@@albundy9597 completely true, but are you sure you interpret your appearance correctly?
These are really Ultimate pointers! Thank you Phil and Pradeep Apte.

Words of wisdom .. one of the most profound videos on yt ..
Many thanks!! Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj!
These words are indeed the ULTIMATE POINTERS. Nothing to say except
Endless Endless Endless Gratitude 🙏
These words are like arrows, strike my heart and burn out my mind. Every concept keeps collapsing on itself.
This is such a gift, been listening to it often at night for a few years. Thanks so much. 🙏🏻💎
words just can,t describe the gratitude i feel for this....so i remain silent...
True🙏
except when i have something to say
Thank you 🙏🏾 thank you 🙏🏾 thank you 🙏🏾 thank you 😊
This is by far the greatest treasure I have encountered. Thank you Parbrahm, Thank you Nisargadatta Maharaj,
Thank you Pradeep Apte, Thank you Phil Philms and everybody who made this possible. This is indeed a gift that keeps giving, Precious beyond words!!!!! ✨✨✨🙏✨✨✨
People who understand this on an intellectual level but have difficulty incorporating it into their everyday experience might think of it this way:
You are not a person looking for the absolute, you are the absolute playing that it is a person. Then you will realise that your self-image and your self-perception are mere illusions that have become habitual through conditioning.
Just be in the moment and try to feel like you were totally satisfied. And remember that you are not a person.
Wow. Wow, Jor'Ghal. I got a glimpse of that today looking at a 3d fractal on a Brian Scott video. You said that deeply: ...you are the absolute playing that it is a person. I feel that. Thank you.
What you said will not help anyone who did not receive that help from the words of Maharaj. Your words pale in comparison.
I am love. I am peace. I am pure and eternal. I am the knower, the known, and the knowing. And yet, I am none of these. For, when these cease to be, I still am. I know that I cannot know my Absolute Self. Yet, I cannot say that I do not know It, for without It, there could be no knowing at all. I cannot know It, I can only be It. I cannot become It, because I always was. Before anything was, I AM. After everything is, I AM.
Beautiful!!
WoW!!! Very Beautiful!!! I couldn't of said it better... Thank you!
Y'shua pointed us to this teaching when he said "Before Abraham was, I AM"
No, he said the 'I am' will disappear and you will be the timeless unborn without awareness (he said the absolute has no awareness of itself) What he is saying is death is a state of being dead, ie. no awareness.
@@albundy9597 That is already what I am. That is not what the thought "I am" is.
❣️THIS IS PRICELESS, BEYOND WORDS!!! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Probably the deepest teaching I have ever heard. Wonderful to meditate to- like plunging down a cosmic rabbit hole! ☺ Thanks for posting! 🖒
One of my favorite audiobooks! I’m at such peace as I listen to it! Luvsit!
💙
Wow amazing
I'm a buddhist monk and I know many buddhist people are so traditional that they believe only Buddha's teachings are correct but all the other religions and teachings are wrong. It is true that teaching of many religions nowadays are wrong because they have given wrong interpretations to core teachings of their religions. If anyone correctly practice buddhist teachings and then look at core teachings of other sages such as Jesus, Mahamud, Osho, Maharaj, or if you look at Mula mantra of Sikh religion, will come to know that all teachers points to the same truth but in different perspectives. I personally think Buddha's teachings are well organised and people in different levels can start from where they are. Teachings of Maharaj can be followed by peoples who already has so much wisdom.
Yes. You are right.
Seven years later, this heart is directed back to this video repeatedly. it is not religion or entertainment…. its timeless, life changing Eyeopener, priceless, the missing piece to the Puzzle of Life, most Unique and The Supreme Content on TH-cam!!!!
@@jkd6969 🥰🥰🥰
Pem Das -- A year later and this is still my bedtime lullaby. Def one of the bests gifts ever. I hope this finds you healthy and content. All blessings.
I’m happy to hear that 😍😍
Summary is : I am God... that is lost to be found.
Thanks for sharing. It's a great work.
This is a true gift and I listen everyday, letting the words penetrate and bring me the deepest peace. So well articulated and beautifully read. Such clarity which evokes the knowing and the sense of remembering or knowing that which is beyond remembering or knowing so truly evoking the Absolute/noumen in the present phenomenal manifestation. Sadguru Parabarhman Thank you
Thank you, Janet.
I was understrok and i still am. It îs gorgeus and amazing and at the s tame tine nothing it is
In this inner and outer world of turbulence, these words and the meditation on the 'I AM' give an almost immediate sense of stillness and peace.
im gonna download this and save in my pc and listen for all my temporary life
hahaha sounds like a plan ;-) I'm going to listen to it repeatedly, as well :-)
and your voice and music is so deeply relaxing...where i can find this sitar track?
I know, the music is great, right?! Here it is: th-cam.com/video/aiZInCx9L94/w-d-xo.html

Danilo Di Bonaventura I've done so too :)
Such a beautiful presentation of Sri Nisargadatta teachings. The silences between the words and the low music are just perfect. Much gratitude to all involved in making this video. 🙏🕉
I’m glad you like it 😊 Thank you for your feedback 🙏 💖

@@PhilPhilms sir why there is Advertisement in your video ?
MODIfied India I can’t seem to get rid of it 😭 Any ideas?
don't even know what to say. It changes so much. Thanks you PhilPhilms. Thank you Consciousness for pointing us to the ultimate truth, in the form of PhilPhilms :-)
feeling lost....like im dying listening to this...so powerful
Danilo Di Bonaventura Ha,if you weren't "lost", you would not be able yo hear it. It means you died as ego.(mind).to be able to receive this in your heart.
TheAmbamata but paradoxically there is also no lost
lost is your thought only. you are caught up in the mind.
@@lookingforoneness9708 but there is no words to describe these experience
Namaste thankyou thankyou thankyou infinite love light blessings to all who read this and all who dont
Santana Dharma (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism,, Sikhism) has soo much to give to the world.
When you stumble across the ultimate truth. It resonates perfectly with your entire being. You know you have finally found it. All thoughts stop. There is a bliss that enters every cell in the body as you suck in every word resonating with it , in complete immersion of the mind and the soul
Thank You Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, Pradeep Apte, and Philip Evan Cowlishaw.
If it is ever possible to post 'The Nisargadatta Ultimatum Pointers'
as a series of shorter TH-cam videos or chapters
to share with friends, post on FB or listen to chosen sections
that would be greatly appreciated. _/|\_
there are not appropriate words in language to thank you enough for O Universe for clearly stating this Open Secret 💗💗💗
So profound! It hit me like a hammer to my head the first time when I heard this. Since then I listen to it quite often and every time I listen, I’ll discover more and different drops of truth. Thank you so much!
Hammer or not have you transformed has ur life changed do you behave differently,if not all you have is confusion. May you realise that you are not the understanding principle, only the witness. This is when the grace and humility will be the only important aspect of your being. 😅
So soothing, so encouraging, so beautiful.
Beautiful thank you for uploading his teachings!
I've seen so many poorly done spiritual videos on TH-cam. This one is quite the opposite -- extremely well-chosen quotes, an outstanding reader, and while Zia Mohiuddin Dagar is one of my all-time favorite musicians, I am so glad that his music is kept subtly in the background and does not interfere with the reading.
This video should be put forward as an example of how to produce a video of spiritual readings. I am very grateful for this beautiful work. Much gratitude to everyone involved in producing it and making it available.
Ribbonium Thank you 🙏💖😊
This wisdom is like a life raft to cling to when the demons are pulling
And then they dissolve as you listen
the Truth burns me away. wipes out the false I. thank you for saving what was never lost.
Well said, thank you.
There are no words for THIS.Its my homeless home forever. Thank you very much for THIS.
This is More Than Gold...My utmost gratitude.
So Beautiful ..... beyond profound ! So Grateful for this ! Thank You !
My dad got a Naam from Nisargadatt Maharaj when he used to go to him with his mom. My grandma became his devotee as she used to worship Datta Guru since childhood, one BrahmaRakshas came behind her and warned her in her dreams that he would take all her children away.. And then she met Nisargadatt Maharaj and that same person came in her dream and said now u got a powerful man, so I am leaving you now. So I must say with Nisargadatt Maharaj grace, my whole dad family (he and his siblings and his mom) got saved from the most powerful Rakshas called BrahmaRakshas...
And we still chant his name and got another Guru of same Guru Lineage..
Wow 🤩 Thank you for sharing 🥰
@@PhilPhilms yes he used to live in Mumbai only,and Maharaj Ashram was also nearby in Mumbai only.. BrahmaRakshas is the most powerful demon and he left her Cz he said that she got a man who is more powerful than him and thats none but Nisargadatt Maharaj ..
As per Hinduism, there are bhoot pret pishach and BrahmaRakshas in ascending order.. Pret more powerful than bhoot, pishach more dangerous than Pret and bhoot.. And BrahmaRakshas is most dangerous but they're rare..
A man who was a pandit in temple if he uses the money of the Gods for his personal benefits (that is donations of temple for buying car house for himself) then after death he gets a yoni of BrahmaRakshas, so brahm means Brahmin (here Pandit) as they have studied Vedas shastras mantras during their lifetime but Because of one big bad karma of using God's money they get this yoni after death and they are most powerful as they have learnt everything shastras Vedas Puranas when they wear alive
thank you a billion times.. i laugh outloud and become extremely joyous when i hear these beautiful words and beautiful background music.
No words can possibly express my Total Gratitude for the Words of this Miracle Being!!! 💙🕉🕉🕉💙
I must say this is the most amazing treasure one could ever find. I am truly grateful. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much PhilPhilms. Your voice and reading convey beautifully this timeless teaching.
I have read the book many times but this is great way to hear it again perfect voice too,,,,
Be lucky i wish you well,,,,
Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar's music is a great choice and maybe, the only possible!
I agree :-)
Mesmerizing👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Priceless, priceless, priceless,
Thank you, Thank you and Thank you ✨🙏✨🙏✨🙏✨
Eternally grateful for this auspicious wisdom of truth 🙏✨
Most beautiful quotes. They are most effective when sensed as emerging out of no-thing, rather than from an imagined human.
This is just.. perfect! The perfect voice for the perfect teaching. Thank you very much!
What's powerful about these words is that they refer directly to who we are, without having to 'find a way' so to speak. The absolute self is revealed as we listen to these statements instead of the individual person trying to dissolve itself. Thus they truly are pointers to the ultimate.
Powerful Vibe 🙏🏼💕 grateful
Absolute bliss..... Opened up new doors of Spirituality.... Veena in d background is so soothing....
this is so powerful and this is the ultimate truth i have experienced it directly,it is so much and nothing at the same that hear it put it in a so perfect and clever way made me shed a tear,thank you,i never heard nisargadatta,i just knew the name.
How can I ever Thank All of you for this Rarest Treasure. Sat sat Naman.
Thank you Phil. This is it the ultimate knowledge. The ultimate of all things to know. It’s too profound of average humans to grasp. But then again he was the guru of all gurus
of course, your more than average!

@Tarun Singh currently who is direct disciple of Sree Nisarg maharaj and where he resides ?
Istina.
temperance in my days of youth, I believed I was very powerful. Every day was a new challenge with tougher opponents.
Today, I know I am nothing, a mere illusion. Every day is a new illusion awaiting my manifestation. I now know that those daily opponents, were only myself pushing myself off the clift. In death, I found myself in the trees, in the waters, I am here with you in mind.
I love the voice of reader. Do heavy, steady and clear
me too. I like it a lot. one of my favourate commentarys. so soothing. so subtle. so simple. so soft. so so so os
I also really enjoy Sri Ramana Maharshi. 👐🙌
I have also liked watching lots of Master Sri Avinash recently. #SriAvinash
I find Sri Avinash's Satsang teachings really comforting and helpful in my life.
Thank you for giving this to us, read so beautifully.
Out of all that which I have found in this life, this video has been by far the most healing, fulfilling, and liberating energy I have ever encountered. God Bless 💜
How do You Know You Found it And Not as it Found You?. How Many Sides a Coin?. #Grasshopper.
My life has felt like a failure. But in my 24th year of life, I "reached" enlightenment. Ill make it easier for everyone. We are 4 layers deep. All these layers are us, as all existence all beings all things, that have, will and can be exist as the one. The first layer is the body, the second is the mind/ego, the third is awareness/consciousness/bramhan, and what you are is parabramhan. Bramhan is the manifest consciousness, parabramhan is the unmanifest consciousness, the one who is conceptless. Now, let me explain. At first you become aware of existing when there are no thoughts, thats freedom from the ego. Then heres the crazy part, realize that you are aware of being awareness. Thus proving that you can not be awareness but the one who is aware of awareness. If you know the nature of awareness as pure stillness you will understand its void. Nisargadatta refers to being aware of nothing or being aware of the stillness/void/awareness. Thus parabramhan can never be known (viewed or become aware of) it can only be experienced. When you experience being parabramhan youre in a state of samadhi. This knowledge isnt a secret, its more about your depth. For no matter how pure the knowledge, the self will never reveal itself to the eyes of the deluded seeker (one of my favorite lines from the Astavakra Gita)
eye bee seven layers, like a bean dip
The sound of the gentle voice flows alongside the quality of content within, in a way that contains the depth of what is left unsaid.
I appreciate the fact that you published this on St. Valentine's Day! Thank you for your service.
xanbex Me, too! It was total coincidence. I was actually laid up in bed with a VERY sore back for three days and recorded this just to have something to do 😅 Never would have guessed that it would be so well-received 😍
Can't describe it in words, however I'll try. I have never read books like this, I'm in awe. I can't believe such Guru exists ( cause one never dies ). Thank you.
Sowing the seeds of awakening. Thank you...
Wow - How precious 🙏🌈🏡💚🌲🌳🎄
This is the be-all-end-all of spiritual practices. Approach with caution, not for the faint of soul
Hi Phil,

Thank you so much for these wonderful pointers and reminders.
Much love and peace to you, brother.
