Did Nisargadatta ever teach the methods he learned from his Nath guru   (that got him enlightened) to his students? Apparently Nisargadatta's method of the abidance in the "I Am" *was* what his guru taught. Or he spoke very generally to his students and withheld the actual methods leading to the "abidance in the "I Am"". Of course the danger of such a simple instruction is the ego can intervene in a million ways if you haven't done what is necessary to reside in that state of presence or if the guru never transmitted the state and qualified your View. This is essential IMO, otherwise you so easily get "Neo- or Pseudo-advaita" and satsang culture.   It was what he termed the "bird's way" to enlightenment, because the mind alights upon the fruit of realization directly, as opposed to the way he ("he" being Siddharameshwar, Nisargadatta's guru) became realized which he termed the "ant's way" by which one travels progressively, bit-by-bit, to the goal.
