Brahmānucintanaṃ

Verse 27

आनन्दः सत्यबोधोऽहमिति ब्रह्मानुचिन्तनम् ।अयं प्रपञ्चो मिथ्यैव सत्यं ब्रह्माहमव्ययम् ॥ २६ ॥

In plain words

I am bliss; I am awareness, and awareness is what is real — to keep returning to that is the contemplation of Brahman. This whole spread-out world is unreal, and only that; what is real is Brahman, imperishable, and that is what I am.

Close to the Sanskrit

"Bliss, real awareness, am I" — thus is the contemplation of Brahman. This manifold world is unreal only; real is Brahman, the imperishable, which I am.
