Aham Brahmasmi (I Am Brahman) — Complete Lyrics
अहं ब्रह्मास्मि
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
ब्रह्म वा इदमग्र आसीत् तदात्मानमेवावेत् ।
अहं ब्रह्मास्मीति । तस्मात्तत्सर्वमभवत् ॥
brahma vā idam agra āsīt tad ātmānam evāvet
aham brahmāsmīti, tasmāt tat sarvam abhavat
In the beginning this was Brahman alone. It knew only its own Self, thinking, 'I am Brahman.' Therefore it became all this. (Whoever among gods or men awakened to this likewise became the All.)
