Six Stanzas on Salvation

1. I am neither the conscious nor unconscious mind, neither intelligence nor ego. Neither the ears nor the tongue nor the senses of smell and sight. Neither ether nor air nor fire nor water nor earth. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
2. I am neither the prana nor the five vital airs, Neither the seven body-components nor the five sheath; Neither speech nor hands nor feet nor anus nor sex organ. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
3. Neither aversion nor attachment, neither avarice nor delusion, Neither arrogance nor the feeling of jealousy, at all, Neither righteousness nor wealth nor pleasure are mine. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
4. I am neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain, Neither mantra nor sacred place, neither Vedas nor sacrifices. I am neither the food nor the eater nor the act of eating. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
5. Neither death nor doubt nor caste-distinction, Neither father nor mother nor even birth are mine, at all. I am neither brother nor friend, neither guru nor disciple. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
6. I am without thought, without form. I am all-pervasive, I am everywhere, yet I am beyond all senses. I am neither detachment nor salvation nor anything that could be measured. I am Consciousness and Bliss - I am Shiva! I am Shiva!
