The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 27

निर्गुणो निष्क्रियो नित्यो नित्यमुक्तोऽहमच्युतः ।नाहं देहो ह्यसद्रूपो ज्ञानमित्युच्यते बुधैः ॥ २७ ॥

In plain words

I carry no qualities. I do nothing. I do not begin or end. I was never bound, and I never slip from what I am. I am not this body — the body's whole appearance has no real being at all. This, say those who have woken up, is what the word knowledge means.

Close to the Sanskrit

Without qualities, without action, eternal, ever-free am I, imperishable; I am not the body, for it is of unreal form — this is called knowledge by the wise.
