Dasa Shloki – Verse 7   «   »

न शास्ता न शास्त्रं न शिष्यो न शिक्षा
न च त्वं न चाहं न चायं प्रपञ्चः।
स्वरूपावबोधो विकल्पासहिष्णु
स्तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम्।।7।।
Na śāstā na śāstraṃ na śiṣyo na śikṣā
Na ca tvaṃ na cāhaṃ na cāyaṃ prapañcaḥ.
Svarūpāvabodho vikalpāsahiṣṇu
Stadeko’vaśiṣṭaḥ śivaḥ kevalo’ham..7..
Neither the origin of knowledge,
Nor the books of knowledge,
Neither he disciple nor the teacher,
Neither you, nor me and nor this world am I,
For this is not tolerated by innate realization,
So I am simply Shiva the self,
For this remains even in sleep,
After everything is taken out.

Dasa Shloki – Commentary by S.N. Sastri

There is neither teacher nor scriptures, neither student nor instruction, neither you nor I, nor this world. The knowledge of one’s real nature does not admit of different perceptions. I remain as the one auspicious self free from all attributes.
