| Jagad Guru Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada |
I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego, nor the reflections of inner self (chitta).
I am not the five senses. I am beyond that.
I am not the ether, nor the earth, nor the fire, nor the
wind (the five elements).
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
Neither can I be termed as energy (prana), nor five types of
breath (vayus),
nor the seven material essences, nor the five coverings
(pancha-kosha).
Neither am I the five instruments of elimination, procreation,
motion, grasping, or speaking.
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
I have no hatred or dislike, nor affiliation or liking,
nor greed, nor delusion, nor pride or haughtiness, nor
feelings of envy or jealousy.
I have no duty (dharma), nor any money, nor any desire
(kama), nor even liberation (moksha).
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
I have neither merit (virtue), nor demerit (vice). I do not
commit sins or good deeds, nor have happiness or sorrow, pain or pleasure.
I do not need mantras, holy places, scriptures (Vedas),
rituals or sacrifices (yagnas).
I am none of the triad of the observer or one who experiences,
the process of observing or experiencing,
or any object being observed or experienced.
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
I do not have fear of death, as I do not have death.
I have no separation from my true self, no doubt about my
existence, nor have I discrimination on the basis of birth.
I have no father or mother, nor did I have a birth. I am not
the relative, nor the friend, nor the guru, nor the disciple.
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
I am all pervasive. I am without any attributes, and without
any form.
I have neither attachment to the world, nor to liberation
(mukti).
I have no wishes for anything because I am everything, everywhere, every
time, always in equilibrium.
I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss, love and pure
consciousness.
