WHO I AM???

Who am I ???

I am ...........

I am neither ego nor reason,
I am neither mind nor thought,
I cannot be heard nor cast into words, nor by smell nor sight ever caught:
In light and wind I am not found, nor yet in earth and sky-
Consciousness and joy incarnate, Bliss of the Blissful am I.

I have no name, I have no life,
I breathe no vital air,
No elements have moulded me, no bodily sheath is my lair:
I have no speech, no hands and feet, nor means of evolution-
Consciousness and joy I am, and Bliss in dissolution.

I cast aside hatred and passion,
I conquered delusion and greed;
No touch of pride caressed me,
so envy never did breed:
Beyond all faiths, past reach of wealth, past freedom, past desire,
Consciousness & joy I am, and Bliss is my attire.

Virtue and vice, or pleasure and pain are not my heritage,
Nor sacred texts, nor offerings, nor prayer, nor pilgrimage:
I am neither food, nor eating, nor yet the eater am I-
Consciousness and joy incarnate, Bliss of the Blissful I am.

I have no misgiving of death, no chasms of race divide me,
No parent ever called me child, no bond of birth ever tied me:
I am neither disciple nor master,
I have no kin, no friend-
Consciousness and joy I am, and merging in Bliss is my end.

Neither knowable, knowledge, nor knower am I, formless is my form,
I dwell within the senses but they are not my home:
Ever serenely balanced, I am neither free nor bound-
Consciousness and joy I am, and Bliss is where I am found.

I am not the doer, nor the deed
I am not this body, this mind, nor the thoughts
I am joy, I exist everywhere I am Space I am bliss
I am what I am

Regards

Daksh

Neti..Neti..(neither this nor that...not this...not that...) was the language the Vedas speak when asked as to what is Sat ? (the ultimate truth) and in the method of this negation one has to continue his journey of finding answer and perhapes the joy is in journey and not in reaching ...since none has found the answer and those who have found are silent because perhapes the truth is unexpressable with five senses and is a matter of experiencing with sixth sense which can not manifest itself in to gross.....all the best in your jouney to know the self...
