The Ultimate Medicine is not for those who like their spirituality watered down, but for serious students searching for awareness. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) lived and taught in a small apartment in the slums of Bombay. A realized master of the Tantric Nath lineage, he supported himself and his family by selling cheap goods in a small booth on the streets outside his tenement for many years. His life exemplified the concept of absolute nonduality of being. In this volume, Maharaj shares the highest truth of nonduality in his own unique way. His teaching style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on inessentials. His terse but potent sayings are known for their ability to trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing or reading them."The point is that man freed from his fetters is morality personified. Such a man therefore does not need any moralistic injunctions in order to live righteously. Free a man from his bondage and thereafter everything else will take care of itself. On the other hand, man in his unredeemed state cannot possibly live morally, no matter what moral teaching he is given. It is an intrinsic impossibility, for his very foundation is immorality. That is, he lives a lie, a basic contradiction: functioning in all his relationships as the separate entity he believes himself to be, whereas in reality no such separation exists. His every action therefore does violence to other 'selves' and other 'creatures,' which are only manifestations of the unitary consciousness. So Society had to invent some restraints in order to protect itself from its own worst excesses and thereby maintain some kind of status quo. The resulting arbitrary rules, which vary with place and time and therefore are purely relative, it calls 'morality,' and by upholding this man-invented 'idea' as the highest good–oftentimes sanctioned by religious 'revelation' and scriptures–society has provided man with one more excuse to disregard the quest for liberation or relegate it to a fairly low priority in his scheme of things."

Conversaciones con Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj del 1 de enero de 1979 al 15
de julio de 1980, en las que nos enseña que el yo soy contiene el mundo entero.
Todos los caminos conducen a la irrealidad. Los caminos son creaciones dentro del ámbito del conocimiento. Por consiguiente, los caminos y los movimientos no pueden transportarle a la Realidad, porque su función es enredarse en la dimensión del conocimiento, mientras que la Realidad es anterior a él.
Ahora, usted sabe que existe; usted mora en la semilla de la sensación de ser", aunque, finalmente, incluso esta "sensación de ser" misma ha de ser trascendida. Todo está contenido en esa semilla, de la misma manera que toda la encina está contenida en la bellota. De forma similar, todo está contenido en esa consciencia: el mundo entero está ahí y este cuerpo está también presente.
El "yo soy" mismo es el mundo; el "yo soy" contiene el mundo entero. Ésa debe ser su convieción. Esta cognitividad contiene este presunto mundo real, de forma análoga a cuando en un sueño usted siente que está despierto, pero realmente no lo está ,su mundo, en ese momento, es el mundo del sueño. Esta convicciórn debe hacerse patente. La verdad es que no hay ninguna diferencia entre la consciencia del sueño y la consciencia de la vigilia, aunque parezcan ser enormemente diferentes; toda la consciencia es una.
