What is precisely practice that Nisargadatta suggest?

" ….focus your mind on I am, which is pure and simple being "

1. Is it like japam/mantra practice, that we must repeat mentally or

utter same word continuously?

2. Is it like zazen practice, like mushin (no mind), that we must

witness and see our thoughts appear and disappear without interfere or

like seeing things/thoughts as they are?

3. Is it like to thinking about these words/sentences and

contemplation and make understanding become richer and stable and then

we know `I am `with deep faith and understanding become effortlessly?

4. All is correct. (or there is another Interpretation)

(Please don't answer with dialectically or metaphysically)

Thanks

although there's nothing wrong with repeating the words " i am, " for

maharaj " i am " is not a mantra.

again, there's nothing wrong with doing this (and in fact it often

happens when we sit in silence) but there's no effort suggested in

watching any thoughts.

again, nothing wrong with doing that but no mental process is

required for what maharaj suggests. i think that's why hindus call

jnana yoga as the simplest but the hardest form of yoga.

" i am " and " the sense of being " and consciousness, and even

ramana's " self-inquiry " all mean the same. another way to interpret

maharaj is...

 

in silence

meditate as consciousness

on consciousness

nothing else
