I Am the Self

A song drawn from Advaita Vedanta — the teaching that the Self (Atman) and the absolute (Brahman) are not two things but one. It carries two of the four Mahāvākyas, the great sayings of the Upanishads: अहं ब्रह्मास्मि — I am Brahman, and तत् त्वम् असि — Thou art That. At its centre is the oldest analogy for non-duality: wave and water are never two.

Every frame of the film is generated in code rather than filmed.
Lyrics

I Am the Self, I Am the One

Chorus I am the Atman, silent and free
I am the light no eyes can see
Brahman within me, Brahman in all
One endless ocean, one sacred call
Om Tat Sat, the truth is one
Shivoham, I am the sun
Beyond the body, beyond the mind
The deathless Self I seek, I find

Verse 1 The world is a river of name and form
Rising in sunlight, fading in storm
Mountains may crumble, stars may fall
But the witness within is beyond it all
I am not sorrow, I am not fear
I am the silence always near
Thoughts are clouds in the open sky
I am the space that does not die

Verse 2 Aham Brahmasmi, the sages sing
The soul is not a separate thing
Tat Tvam Asi, the whisper came
Thou art That, beyond all name
Wave and water are never two
The same eternal life shines through
In every heart, in every breath
Love is stronger than birth and death

Bridge Om… Om… Om…
Sat Chit Ananda, I am home
I am not body, I am not mind
Pure awareness, unborn, divine
Shivoham… Shivoham…
Sat Chit Ananda Shivoham

Verse 3 Karma teaches, Dharma guides
Bhakti opens what ego hides
Jnana burns the veil away
Maya fades in the light of day
The seeker, the path, and the goal are one
The flame, the fire, and the rising sun
When the little “I” dissolves in grace
All the cosmos becomes one face

Outro Om Tat Sat… Om Tat Sat…
All that is, is only That
The Self is whole, the Self is vast
I am the Atman, I am the One
Older than moonlight, brighter than sun
Brahman is all, and all is me
Boundless love, eternity
Shivoham… Shivoham…
Sat Chit Ananda Shivoham…
