I am not this body made up of five elements – earth, water, air, ether and fire. Nor I am the five senses comprising of eyes, ears, tongue, nose and touch. I am not this mind, intellect, nor the ego(i.e. mann, buddhi, ahankar). I am the omnipresent, formless, all pervading, infinite, indestructible which can neither be liberated nor be bound. I am the soul; I am Shiva.
