I am that.

By Dhaivat Shukla

 

I have no scruple of change, nor fear of death

Nor was I ever born, nor I had parents

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am that, I am that,

 

I cause no misery, nor I am miserable

I have no enemy, nor I am enemy

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am that, I am that,

 

I am without form, without limit,

Beyond space, beyond time,

I am in everything, everything is in me

I ma the bliss of the universe, everywhere am I

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am that, I am that,

 

I am without body, or change of body,

I am neither senses, nor object of senses

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am that, I am that,

 

I am neither sin, nor virtue

Nor temple, nor worship

Nor pilgrimage, nor books

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am that, I am that,

 

- Rama

(Swami Ramtirth)

 

Note: One fine day Diwangbhai bring this to Dhaivat. Dhaivat’s father, renowned Gujarati poet Rajendra Shukla translates it as “તદાકાર છું હું”. (click to read the translation)
