    		Sin or merit can never touch me. I feel no pleasure; I feel no pain. No magic chants empower me. No mystic places purify me. I am not the dogma nor the doctrines, nor even the sacred fire of pilgrims. I am neither the experiencer (subject), nor the experienced (object), nor the experiencing. I am supreme bliss and pure consciousness, I am Shiva, I am all auspiciousness, I am Shiva.
    - excerpt from Nirvana Shatkam
