I am neither the mind,
intelligence, ego, nor chitta,
Neither the ears nor the tongue,
nor the senses of smell and sight.
Neither ether nor air,
nor fire, nor water, nor earth,
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I am neither the prana
nor the five vital breaths,
Neither the seven elements of
the body, nor its five sheaths,
Nor hands, nor feet, nor tongue,
nor other organs of action.
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
Neither greed nor delusion
loathing nor liking have I.
Nothing of pride or ego,
of dharma or liberation,
Neither desire of the mind,
nor object for its desiring.
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
Nothing of pleasure and pain
of virtue and vice do I know
Of mantra or sacred places,
of Vedas or sacrifice.
Neither am I the eater,
the food, nor the act of eating.
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
Death or fear have I none,
nor any distinction of caste.
Neither father nor mother,
nor even birth have I.
Neither friend nor comrade,
neither disciple nor Guru.
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I have no form or fancy.
The All-pervading am I.
I exist everywhere,
and yet am beyond the senses,
Neither salvation, am I,
nor anything to be known.
I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness.
I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
