End Ego, See Self
A small "I"
A big EGO
Makes minuscule feel large
Distinct from others
Better in many ways
Hiding behind the fact that all are physically and mentally similar
Born of same parents
Nurtured by same nature
Slowly heading towards the end of this short life
If we kept aside this ego and looked from above
Imagine ourselves somewhere far away from earth
High above in the universe
We will see a bunch of dots working together in earth
Sustaining it with collective efforts
Just like cells within body
We are small cells
Dependent on everything around us for sustainability
Doing the small task assigned to us
Everyone, everything around is us just like our body parts
If all are happy and healthy
So will we be
All means every element of nature, all life forms
Moment we love whole universe just as we love our body
We would be leading an intelligent life
For that is the truth
Once we annihilate our ego,
do our miniscule job perfectly without harming others
We will experience blissful life
Ego is ignorance
Ignorance binds, gives endless miseries
Egoless, brimming with unconditional, pure, selfless love we perceive truth
Our delusion end and God, soul and our position in the whole scheme of things becomes visible
We are liberated from this mundane existence to higher plane of eternal bliss
