Rama Balasubramanian Poet Sijo

End Your Ego

Rays of mighty powerful sun can be easily blocked
Huge elephant endures helplessly when an ant bites it
All have limitations, no one is greatest, end your ego

You have reached the pinnacle of success, earned name and fame
You couldn't have done it without assistance from others
No one knows everything, all need a good team, end your ego

Feel you're greatest if every moment you are happiest
If every second you are enjoying life mindfully
If you have tamed your senses, can maintain thought free mind for long
