Tenfold

The Tenfold Verse about Enlightenment These verses deal with the Absolute Self. Written by the ace philosopher, Sankara, these verses are the verses of Enlightenment, the Voice of the Self that is the Sole Witness Consciousness which transcends the triune states - waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. Na Bhoomir na Thoyam na Thejo na Vayu, Na Kham Nendriyam vaa na Thesham samooha, Anaikanthikathwath Suspthyeka Siddha, Thadekovasishta Shiva Kevaloham. Earth and water I am not Neither wind nor light Not ether nor the organs of sense I am not a combination of these Because they are only relatively real That which remains after Negation That Consciousness, Absolute Self, I am Na varna, na Varnasramachara Dharma, Na me dharana Dhyana Yogadhayopi, Anathmasrayo aham Mamadhya Sahanath, Thadekovasishta Shiva Kevaloham. I am not the Caste rules, nor caste itself I am not the Stages Four of Life I dont personify rules nor just conduct Meditation I am not nor Yoga They are illusory before Self That which remains after Negation That Consciousness, Absolute Self, am I Na matha pitha vaa na Deva na Loka, Na veda na yagna na Theertham Bruvanthi, Sushupthou nirasthadhi Shoonyath Makathwath, Thadekovasishta Shiva Kevaloham Mother and father are not me Neither Earth nor Heaven Not the Vedas me, nor the sacrifice of Fire Nor the holy waters Which they say exist in dreamless sleep Void also is not in sleep That which remains after Negation That Consciousness, Absolute Self, I am
