Adi Shankaracharya Poems

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego, feeling;
Sky nor earth nor metals am I.

I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!
...

Om. I am neither the mind,
Intelligence, ego, nor ’chitta’,
Neither the ears, nor the tongue,
...

Thou art residing in secrecy with Thy Lord
in the thousand petalled Lotus,
having pierced through
...

I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego,
nor the reflections of inner self (chitta).
I am not the five senses.
...

I salute that Lord of Ranga,
Who sleeps in the yogic pose,
On the bed of Adhisesha,
Below the tall dome,
...

Thy body may be beautiful and glow with flawless health,
Thy fame colossal and thou mayest have won to fabulous wealth,
But if to the Guru's feet thy heart untethered still remain.
