“Shiva as Primal Silence before recreation.”

I.

I am not breath, nor winds that rise,

Not flesh nor sheath, nor form that dies.

No hand, no foot, no Voice, no flame,

yet boundless light - without a name. (2)

I am the bliss no Stars Contain,

The peace untouched by joy or pain

The endless dawn, the timeless hum,

I am Shiva, I am one. (2)

 

II.

No hate, no chains of want or greed,

No pride's sharp thorn, no envy's seed

No law, no wealth, no fleeting flame,

No thirst for joy, no binds of name.

I am the light; no night can Veil

The timeless truth beyond the Pale.

The endless song, the cosmic psalm

I am Shiva. I am calm.

 

III.

I am not rage, nor greed's sharp chain,

No pride's illusion, envy’s stain.

No duty’s call, no wealth's embrace,

No fleeting joy, no sorrow's trace.

I am the dawn no dark can hold,

The formless flame, the unfathomed Gold.

The silent Surge, the boundless psalm

I am Shiva, pure and calm
