I AM SHIVA

I am Shiva, Shiva in essence, Shiva by Self, Shiva in mind, always of the nature of Shiva, having the power of Shiva, Shiva with his gracious smile.

I have no birth, I have no death; I am not conditioned by Time and Space; I am the Omniscient One, the almighty One, I have become all that is, I am the Eternal.

I am self-born, I am Om Tat-Sat, I am beyond being and non-being, I am the Manifest, I am the Unmanifest, I have the universe as my body; the all-pervading Vishnu, the Maker of all the world I am.
Among Ideals I am the greatest Ideal, I am the reservoir or all divine perfectsons, eternal abode of all delights, the foremost among those who bear the Yoke of the Law of Wisdom.

I am the All, I am the Soul of the All, I am the great Ruler of
all. the worlds. It is I who am the inside as well as the outside of things, I am above, I am below, I am all around and everywhere.
                                                                           
All the world is in my heart and I too am in the heart of  the world. I am the Father, I am the Mother, I am the eternal Entity of Shiva and Shiva as Two in One

I am the ultimate Light, the eternal and the most auspicious Peace; of Powers I am the highest and the greatest fulfilment  of Love supreme.

 I am the ever-bright abode of Truth, the Way of Truth, the Upholder of Truth; it is I who am in both the states of utter trance, Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa, the cognising one and the  non-cogmsing.
                                                                  .
Most liberal giver of boons I am, the greatest and the mightiest Power; I am the ultimate emancipation of all, the True, the Good and the Beautiful.

Easy to propitiate though I am, my wrath is terrible; I am without blemish, a treasury of Splendours; I am Shiva, I am Shiva, I am Shiva, none but Shiva.
