प्रातः स्मरामि- I am this Brahman alone

प्रातः स्मरामि हृदि संस्फुरदात्मतत्त्वं

 In the morning, I recognize myself in the heart 

which is the source of all existence,

which is awareness itself and 

which is by nature joyful.

I recognize the 'I' which is the goal 

of the most exalted of sages.

I am this Brahman alone, 

not the assemblage of body mind sense complex

or the five elements from where they came.

I recognize this 'I' as myself 

which is neither the sleeper, 

nor the dreamer, nor the waker

but which lends its sentience to all three 

without being any one of them.

I am this Brahman alone, 

not the assemblage of body mind sense complex

or the five elements from where they came.

I recognize myself as the knower of all three states

and as the all-pervasive Brahman

that is not subject to change,

increase or decrease.

I am this Brahman alone, 

not the assemblage of body mind sense complex

or the five elements from where they came.

In the early morning I am in service of that 

which is not the object of mind and words,

yet by whose grace all words and speech shine.

That has been unfolded in Vedas as not this, not this, 

That one who is the light of all lights,

That one who is not subject to birth, 

That one who is not subject to decline,

That one who has been there before everything,

That one who lends its presence to everything.

I am this Brahman alone, 

not the assemblage of body mind sense complex

or the five elements from where they came.

I salute that sun like consciousness, 

which banishes the darkness of ignorance,

that which is limitless ,ancient, unchanging,

that which is infallible and infinitely spread.

In which consciousness everything shines 

like even a snake appear on the rope

Universe appears on the adhiśtānā of this Brahman 

I am this Brahman alone, 

not the assemblage of body mind sense complex

or the five elements from where they came.
