Selfie - VI

 

अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकाररूपो

विभुर्व्याप्य सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणि  ।

सदा मे समत्वं न मुक्तिर्न बन्धः

चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम्‌ शिवोऽहम्‌  ॥ ६ ॥

ahaM nirvikalpo nirAkArarUpo

vibhurvyApya sarvatra sarvEndriyANi.

sadA mE samatvaM na muktirna bandhaH

chidAnandarUpaH shivo'ham shivo'ham.  6

I am without change, I am without form.

Permeating the basis of all, I am everywhere and behind all the senses.

I am always in equilibrium, and have neither liberation nor attachment.

In the form of blissful consciousness, I am Shiva, I am Shiva.
