Shri Nirvanashtakam – निर्वाणषटकम्

1.

I am not the mind, nor the intellect, neither the ego nor the subconscious

I am also not the ear, not the nose, not the eye

I am  neither the ether nor the earth, neither the fire nor the air

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness

2

I am not the vital force or its five sub-divisions

I am also not the seven ingredients of the body or the five sheaths

I am not the organs of speech, nor the hand, nor the foot, nor the sex organs nor the anus.

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness

3. 

I have neither likes nor dislikes, neither possessiveness nor delusion.

In me there is neither pride nor jealousy.

I have no aims in life (viz righteousness, earning wealth, fulfilment of desire)

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness

4. 

In me there is neither happiness nor unhappiness, neither merit nor sin

For me there is neither mantra nor holy place, neither veda nor sacrifice

I am neither the enjoyer nor the enjoyed nor the enjoyment

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness


5. 

In me there is no anxiety about death, I see no differences in social status

I have neither father nor mother nor birth

I am neither relation nor friend, neither guru nor disciple

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness


6. 

I am changeless, I have the form of formlessness

I am the sovereign power of speech, I am the all-pervasive Master of the sense organs

I have no friends or foes, for me there is neither bondage nor liberation

I am the form of pure bliss, I am Universal Consciousness
