Embracing Authenticity: Genderfluidity, Self-Discovery, and Empowerment with Lori Sweetman
Stanza 1: The Call of the Self
Original
आत्मा ही सत्य है, अपना स्वरूप पहचान। माया के इस खेल में, स्वयं का ज्ञान कर।
Transliteration
Atma hi satya hai, apna swaroop pehchan. Maya ke is khel mein, swayam ka gyaan kar.
Meaning / Translation
The Soul is the only truth, recognize your true form. In this play of Maya (illusion), attain knowledge of your true self.
Stanza 2: Beyond Duality
Original
न मैं पुरुष, न मैं स्त्री, मैं तो ब्रह्म का अंश। अर्धनारीश्वर रूप में, मिटे द्वैत का वंश।
Transliteration
Na main purush, na main stri, main toh Brahm ka ansh. Ardhanarishvara roop mein, mite dwait ka vansh.
Meaning / Translation
I am neither man nor woman, I am a fragment of the Supreme Brahman. In the form of Ardhanarishvara, the lineage of duality is dissolved.
Stanza 3: Empowerment and Truth
Original
सत्य का मार्ग अपनाकर, शक्ति को जागृत कर। स्वयं की मौलिकता में, दिव्यता को भर।
Transliteration
Satya ka maarg apnakar, shakti ko jaagrit kar. Swayam ki maulikta mein, divyata ko bhar.
Meaning / Translation
By following the path of truth, awaken your inner power. Fill your authenticity with divinity.
Stanza 4: Ultimate Realization
Original
आत्म-बोध से पूर्ण हूँ, भय का क्या काम? स्वयं की खोज में ही, मिलता परम धाम।
Transliteration
Atma-bodh se poorn hoon, bhay ka kya kaam? Swayam ki khoj mein hi, milta param dhaam.
Meaning / Translation
I am complete through self-realization, what need is there for fear? In the search for oneself, one finds the ultimate divine abode.
