O Arunachala! Ako mislim na tebe, ti me povlačiš sebi i ne dopuštaš mi da odem.”
WHO AM I? (Nan Yar?)
Who am I?
The gross body, which is composed of the seven humours (dhatus),
I am not; the five cognitive sense organs, viz. the senses of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell, which apprehend their respective objects, viz. sound, touch, colour, taste, and odour,
I am not; the five cognitive sense-organs, viz. the organs of speech, locomotion, grasping, excretion, and procreation, which have as their respective functions speaking, moving, grasping, excreting, and enjoying,
I am not; the five vital airs, prana, etc., which perform respectively the five functions of in-breathing, etc.,
I am not; even the mind, which thinks,
I am not; even the ignorance, which is endowed only with the residual impressions of objects and in which there are no objects and no functioning’s, I am not.
