హంస మంత్రం

గమాగమస్థం గమనాది శూన్యం
                   చిద్రూపదీపం తిమిరాపహారం |
పశ్యామి తే సర్వజనాంతరస్థం
                   నమామి హంసం పరమాత్మ రూపం ||

(THAT) Is established in exit (niHSvAsa i.e., exhalation)  and entry (utSvAsa i.e, inhalation)  but devoid of any movement
              Is of the form of light of consciousness (cit) which removes the darkness (timira i.e ignorance)
I see THOU established in all the (living) beings
              I bow down, "haM sa"  The SOUL ultimate of all beings!

Every human being recites (silently performs a japa of) this mantra 21,600 times daily! which keeps the being alive. Only due to THAT soul's presence all the movements of mental, emotional and physical layears are expressed and impressed!
