Om Poornamadah Poornamidam, Poornasya Poornamadayamah. Avinashi Parameshwar, Atma Swaroop Dhyayamah.

Om, That is whole, this is whole; from the whole, the whole emerges. O Indestructible Supreme Lord, I meditate upon Your essence as the Soul.
Ananta Swaroop (The Infinite Nature)
Original
न तस्य प्रतिमा अस्ति, न तस्य चित्रं वर्तते। सत्यं ज्ञानमनन्तं ब्रह्म, सर्वव्यापी सर्वेश्वर॥ न कालस्य बन्धनात्, न माया के जाल से, मुक्त स्वरूप परमेश्वर, ज्योतिर्मय महाकाल॥
Transliteration
Na tasya pratima asti, na tasya chitram vartate. Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma, Sarvavyapi Sarveshwar. Na kalasya bandhanat, na maya ke jaal se, Mukta swaroop Parameshwar, Jyotirmay Mahakaal.
Meaning / Translation
There is no image of Him, there is no likeness of Him. Brahman is Truth, Knowledge, and Infinity; the All-pervading Lord of all. Free from the bonds of time and the web of illusion, the Supreme Lord is the liberated form, the luminous Great Time.
Atma Vriddhi Path (The Path of Soul Growth)
Original
अविद्या नाशाय, आत्म बोधाय, मार्ग प्रशस्त होवे। अहंकार का त्याग कर, अंतर्मन जागृत होवे॥ ज्ञान की अग्नि में, अज्ञान जल जाए, आत्मा की वृद्धि से, परम पद मिल जाए॥
Transliteration
Avidya nashaya, Atma bodhaya, marg prashast hove. Ahankara ka tyag kar, antarman jagrit hove. Jnana ki agni mein, ajñana jal jaye, Atma ki vriddhi se, Param Pada mil jaye.
Meaning / Translation
For the destruction of ignorance and for self-realization, let the path be cleared. By renouncing the ego, let the inner consciousness awaken. In the fire of wisdom, let ignorance be consumed; through the growth of the soul, let the Supreme State be attained.
Advaita realization (The Non-Dual Union)
Original
जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः, यही सत्य का सार है। अद्वैत की अनुभूति में, जीवन का उद्धार है॥ स्वयं को जानूँ, शिव को पहचानूँ, परमात्मा में ही, अपना अस्तित्व मानूँ॥
Transliteration
Jivo brahmaiva naparah, yahi satya ka saar hai. Advaita ki anubhuti mein, jeevan ka uddhaar hai. Swayam ko jaanu, Shiv ko pehchanu, Paramatman mein hi, apna astitva maanu.
Meaning / Translation
The individual soul is nothing other than Brahman; this is the essence of truth. In the experience of non-duality lies the salvation of life. Let me know myself, let me recognize the Divine, and let me realize my existence only within the Supreme Soul.
Phala-shruti (Conclusion)

Peace, Peace, Peace. He who recites this with devotion shall surely attain liberation.
