manobuddhyahaṁkāracittāni nāhaṁ na ca śrotrajihve na ca ghrāṇanetre \| na ca vyomabhūmiḥ na tejo na vāyuḥ cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 1 \|\|	I have no name I am as fresh breeze of the mountains. I have no shelter, I am as the wandering waters. I have no sanctuary, Like the dark gods. Nor am I in the shadow of deep temples. I have no sacred books, Nor am I well seasoned in tradition.
na ca prāṇasaṁjño na vai pañcavāyuḥ na vā saptadhāturna vā pañcakośaḥ \| na vāk pāṇipādau na copasthapāyū cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 2 \|\|	I am not in the incense mounting on high altars, Nor in the pomp of ceremonies. I am neither in the graven image Nor in the rich chant of a melodious voice. I am not bound by theories Nor corrupted by beliefs. I am not held in the bondage of religions. Nor in the pious agony of their priests.
na me dveṣarāgau na me lobhamohau mado naiva me naiva mātsaryabhāvaḥ \| na dharmo na cārtho na kāmo na mokṣaḥ cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 3 \|\|	I am not entrapped by philosophies Nor held in the power of their sects. I am neither low nor high, I am not the worshipper nor the worshipped. I am free. My song is the song of the river Calling for the open seas, Wandering, wandering. I am life.
na puṇyaṁ na pāpaṁ na saukhyaṁ na duḥkhaṁ na mantro na tīrthaṁ na vedā na yajñāḥ \| ahaṁ bhojanaṁ naiva bhojyaṁ na bhoktā cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 4 \|\|	Life has no philosophy No cunning system of thought. Life has no religion No adorations in deep sanctuaries. Life has no god Nor the burden of fearsome mystery.
na me mṛtyuśaṅkā na me jātibhedaḥ pitā naiva me naiva mātā na janma \| na bandhurna mitraṁ gururnaiva śiṣyaḥ cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 5 \|\|	Life has no abode, Nor the aching sorrow of ultimate decay. Life has no pleasure, no pain, Nor the corruption of pursuing love. Life is neither good or evil, Nor the dark punishment of careless sin.
ahaṁ nirvikalpo nirākārarūpo vibhutvāca sarvatra sarvendriyāṇām \| na casaṁgata naiva muktirna meyaḥ cidānandarūpaḥ śivo'haṁ śivo'ham \|\| 6 \|\|	Life gives no comfort Nor does it rest on the shrine of oblivion. Life is neither spirit nor matter, Nor is there the cruel division of action and inaction. Life has no death, Nor has it the void of loneliness in the shadow of time. Free is the man who lives in the eternal. For life is.

Extraordinary concentration of total energy takes place when mind is freed from pursuits and paradoxes. Realise Kriya Yoga without mental pollutions.
