If I Were Famous

if I were famous
as seen through eyes of ego
I would laugh loudly
for ego is illusion
belief in it delusion

Simply could not agree with you more, Seeker. The world around us, which our ego feeds off of, is one (largely) of falsehood and delusion... And yet, we must make our way as best we can... I often wonder how the Heavens must roar with laughter and sigh with pity at our feeble attempts. Faith and Strength, Gershon

Very true Gershon! Ego veils, the eternal, which is both immediate and intimate

Ego as in fleeting, fickle identity ... belief that we are only limited mind body and not spirit unbound ... as Ramana’s famous question, ‘who am I?’
