Atma-Shatakam

Eli said Sep 26, 2008, 1:35 AM:

 

I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego,

nor the reflections of inner self (chitta).

I am not the five senses.

I am beyond that.

I am not the ether, nor the earth,

nor the fire, nor the wind .

I am indeed,

That eternal knowing and bliss, Shiva,

love and pure consciousness.

This is the first stanza of Atma-Shatakam, a Famous work by  Ādi Śankarācārya. Here is the link to all six stanzas in text as well as the audio.
