Nirvana Shatakam
I am not mind, not intellect, not ego, not thought. I am not the ears, the tongue, the nose or the eyes, or what they witness, I am neither earth nor sky, not air nor light.
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I am not the breath of prana, nor its five currents. I am not the seven elements, nor the five organs, Nor am I the voice or hands or anything that acts.
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I have no hatred or preference, neither greed nor desire nor delusion. Pride, conflict, jealousy -- these have no part of me. Nothing do I own, nothing do I seek, not even liberation itself.
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I know neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain. I know no sacred chants, no holy places, no scriptures, no rituals. I know neither the taste nor the taster.
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
I fear not death. I doubt neither my being nor my place. I have no father or mother; I am unborn. I have no relatives, no friends. I have no guru and no devotees.
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
Free from doubt, I am formless. With knowledge, in knowledge, I am everywhere, beyond perception. I am always the same. Not free, not trapped -- I am .
I am knowledge and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
Truly, I am Shiva, pure awareness. Shivo Ham! Shivo Ham!
