I am neither a Karmendriya like hands or feet,
Nor a Jnanendriya like eyes or ears.
I am not one of the great elements - earth, water, fire, air, or space.
Nor am I the five vital energies (Pranas) that sustain the body.
I am not the mind, nor thoughts, nor emotions.
I am not even the seven chakras of the body.
I am pure consciousness.
I am the very embodiment of blissful awareness -
I am the soul.
My body will turn to ashes;
But I - I am eternal.
