nirvāṇa ṣaṭkam

I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego, or the memory. I am not the senses of hearing, taste, smell, or sight. I am not the elements of ether, earth, fire, or air. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I am not the life-force, nor the five vital breaths. I am not the seven bodily constituents, nor the five sheaths of the self. I am not the organs of speech, grasping, locomotion, excretion, or procreation. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I have no hatred or attachment, no greed or delusion. I possess no pride or envy. I am beyond the concepts of duty, wealth, desire, or liberation. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I do not know virtue or sin, happiness or sorrow. I am beyond mantras, pilgrimage, scriptures, or rituals. I am not the act of eating, the food, or the enjoyer of food. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I know no death, no doubt, and no distinction of caste. I have no father, no mother, and I was never born. I have no relatives, no friends, no teacher, and no student. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

I am without any attributes or form; I am omnipresent, pervading all senses. I am not attached to anything, nor am I bound or liberated. I am Pure Consciousness and Bliss; I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
