I Am That is a compilation of talks on Shiva Advaita (Nondualism) philosophy by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a Hindu spiritual teacher who lived in Mumbai.[1][2][3][4][5] The English translation of the book from the original Marathi recordings was done by Maurice Frydman, edited by Sudhakar S. Dixit and first published in 1973 by Chetana Publications.[6] The book was revised and reedited in July 1981.[7] These publications led to the spread of Nisargadatta's teachings to the West, especially North America and Europe.[2] Excerpts of the book were published in Yoga Journal in September 1981, the month Nisargadatta died at age 84.[8]

The book is considered the author's masterpiece and a spiritual classic by authors and teachers like Eckhart Tolle,[9] Wayne Dyer,[10] Deepak Chopra[11] Peter Crone and Adyashanti, who called the book a "standout" and "the clearest expression I've ever found."[12] Dyer calls Nisargadatta his teacher, and cites the quotation, "Love says: 'I am everything'. Wisdom says: 'I am nothing'. Between the two my life flows."[10] That quotation has also been cited by several other authors in diverse fields, from wellness to cooking.[13][14] Joseph Goldstein visited Nisargadatta in January 1980 after reading the book, and after several meetings said, "The path that Nisargadatta revealed was not a search, but a find, not a struggle, but an abiding, not a cultivation, but something intrinsic to all".[15]

I Am That has been translated into several languages, including Dutch, Italian and Hebrew.[16][17]
