Who Am "I" ? ( II )

 
While pondering over the current topic ie. Who am I? , we came across a couple of  English verses (Kirtan) capsuling the answer to this question. These verses were composed by none else but the greatest vedantik thinker of Bharat during the mid twentieth century Sri Swami Sivananda Ji.who used to pass on  his wisdom  to  followers through HIS compositions dovetailing highest philosophic truths and sublime spiritual lessons ..

THE SONG OF ADWAITA .

Who am "I"?

Soham Soham Soham Soham

OM OM OM OM OM =OM OM OM OM OM

I am neither MIND nor BODY = IMMORTAL SELF I am

I am witness of the three states = EXISTENCE Absolute

I am witness of the three states = KNOWLEDGE Absolute

I am witness of the three states = BLISS Absolute

Nothing exists = Nothing belongs to me.

OM OM OM OM OM = OM OM OM OM OM

I am not this BODY======== This BODY is not MINE

I am not this PRANA ====== This PRANA is not MINE

I am not this MIND ======= This MIND is not MINE

The ESSENCE of VEDANTA
as drawn by Swami Sivananda ji :-

Enquire "Who am I "

Know thy SELF and be Free. 

Be Still be Quiet Know Thy Self

Find the HEARER ,

Find the SEER,

Find the KNOWER.

You are not this BODY, 

not this MIND ,

IMMORTAL SELF YOU ARE
