Shiv Stotram - Nirvana Shatakam

I recite the shiv stotram regularly... It simply means the following...

Neither am I mind, nor intelligence,

Nor ego, nor thought,

Nor am I ears or the tongue or the nose or the eyes,

Nor am I earth or sky or air or the light,

But I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva.

Neither am I the movement due to life,

Nor am I the five airs, nor am I the seven elements,

Nor am I the five internal organs,

Nor am I voice or hands or feet or other organs,

But I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva

I never do have enmity or friendship,

Neither do I have vigour nor feeling of competition,

Neither do I have assets, or money or passion or salvation,

But I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva

Never do I have good deeds or sins or pleasure or sorrow,

Neither do I have holy chants or holy water or holy books or fire sacrifice,

I am neither food or the consumer who consumes food,

As I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva

I do not have death or doubts or distinction of caste,

I do not have either father or mother or even birth,

And I do not have relations or friends or teacher or students,

As I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva

I am one without doubts, I am without form,

Due to knowledge I do not have any relation with my organs,

And I am always redeemed,

And I am Shiva the all pervading happiness,

Yes,I am definitely Shiva

This is the true self...everything else in an illusion...We are all here to fulfill our purpose and mission...of life...having this foundation gives tremendous power to act knowledge to have and peace to be on. The true essence of being, doing and having. Satchidanada.
