My Ego February 15, 2007

How to grab arteries of mankind
No mind should be free
name to occupy everywhere
me… and only me…

seers tell us of dissolving ego
merge in the cosmic jar
how funny have bankruptcy in business
claim owning bazar

forget all, Look how pretty lovely!
my ego, my name!
the question keeps troubling me again
the truth in seers’ claim

why seeker in a wild forest gets
Divine Buddha fame!
but king Shuddhodhan is recognised
by only son’s name

kings and thorns have aggressive ego
rose bud always knows
the man as always appreciates
fragrance of the rose

Oh, that’s a very good message, friend. Well written, good analogies, profound subject. The ego is definitely the problem with this world. May all seek to dissolve this in the fires of cosmic consciousness. Blessings.
