Advaitamrta - Rudra

Svaprakasham tamatmanam aprakashah katham sprshet**

Ahamasmi sadabhami kadachinaham apriyam

Brahmaivaham atah siddham satchidanandalakshanam

Riding the waves of Maya but seeing Brahman everywhere

Surfing the waves of duality but witnessing non-duality

Universe which is inert has no independent existence

All of it depends on consciousness for its existence

Ahmasmai sadabhami kadachinaham apriyam

Brahmaivaham atah siddham satchidanandalakshanam

The world appears like a mirage but it is not an illusion

At the dawn of knowledge I see the world like a reflection

In the mirror of consciousness

In my consciousness the universe rises

My consciousness is all that becomes the world

Of names and forms

Svaprakasham tamatmanam aprakashah katham sprshet

In the primordial sleep of ignorance the Self

Assumes the form of heavens and hells

Pain, pleasure, body and mind rise to destroy freedom as it were

Ahmasmai sadabhami kadachinaham apriyam

Brahmaivaham atah siddham satchidanandalakshanam
