Neither this body am I, nor soul, 
Nor these fleeting images passing by, 
Nor concepts and thoughts, mental images, 
Nor yet sentiments and the psyche's labyrinth. 
Who then am I? 
A consciousness without origin, 
Not born in time, nor begotten here below. 
I am that which was, is and ever shall be, 
A jewel in the crown of the Divine Self, 
A star in the firmament of the luminous One.
Rumi
