Who I am ?

 I am neither the mind, intelligence, ego or memory, Neither the ears nor the tongue, nor the senses of smell and sight; Neither ether nor air, nor fire or water nor earth: I am Eternal Bliss and Awareness—I am Siva! I am Siva! ~Six Stanzas on Nirvana, Nikhilananda, 1987, p. 217

 I have neither dualities nor shape or form; I am present everywhere and pervade all the senses; I am always equanimous; I am neither liberation nor bondage; I am of the nature of Pure Consciousness-Bliss-Absolute, I am Shiva, I am (verily) Shiva. (Reddy, 2007, p. 178)
