Tad Niskala by Adi Shankaracharya

Om, 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.

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 elemements of the body,

Nor its five sheaths,

Nor hands, nor feet, nor tongue,

Nor other organ of action.

I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness

I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

Neither fear, greed, nor delusion,

Loathing, nor liking have I,

Nothing of pride, of ego,

Of 'dharma' or Liberation,

Neither desire of the mind,

Nor object of 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 manta, of sacred place,

Of Vedas or sacrifice,

Neither I am the eater,

The food or the act of eating.

I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness

I am Shiva! I am Shiva!

Death or fear, I have none,

Nor any distincton of 'caste',

Neither Father nor Mother,

Not even a 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,

Everywhere I exist,

And yet I 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!
