Shankara’s Nirvana Shatakam, composed over 1200 years ago, is an embodiment of the “not this, not this” (neti, neti) teaching of Advaita Vedanta that can lead to the state of enlightenment, freedom and happiness. 
Importantly, although there are many “not this, not this” lines, every verse of this six verse classic ends in an affirmation, a declaration of what you really are, which balances and 
responds to the negations. These verses are a personal  declaration and celebration by Shankara of his own Self Realization.
