I am not the hands or feet that act,
Nor the eyes or ears
that sense and react.
I am not the earth, nor water's flow,
Not fire, nor wind,
nor the sky's glow.
I am not the five life-force,
That keeps this body-cell alive.
I am not the mind, nor thought,
nor feeling, Nor the inner tides
of rising or healing.
I am not the chakras, seven in line,
Spinning deep with energy divine.
I am not this form you see-
I am pure consciousness
and eternally free.
I am the blissful Self within,
Untouched by sorrow, free from sin.
I am the soul, serene and still,
Beyond the body, beyond the will.
This body shall return to dust,
As all things fade, as all things must.
But I remain, I do not die-
I am eternal,
I am the Soul.
