The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 25

निर्विकारो निराकारो निरवद्योऽहमव्ययः ।नाहं देहो ह्यसद्रूपो ज्ञानमित्युच्यते बुधैः ॥ २५ ॥

In plain words

Changeless, formless, without a flaw, never wearing away — that is what I am. I am not this body; the body has no reality of its own. This, say those who have woken up, is knowledge.

Close to the Sanskrit

Changeless, formless, faultless am I, and imperishable; I am not the body, for the body is of unreal nature — this is called knowledge by the wise.
