This is for you Necro,
Nirvana Shatakam
By Shankara
(788 - 820)
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!
