The Transcendent Anguish of Ego

Pride and ego is the root of condescension, Oh how it laughs at our fooled perception, As we believe that it is us that controls this powerful deception.

It fools us, It controls us, It loathes when we awaken and boils with swollen pride when we bow low! This Pride and this Ego are necessary obstacles, for it allows us to give meaning and value to the virtue within, though many’er a blow a life may see!

And though we may fight a mighty battle, may we remain astute in our spiritual commute.

It is this Pride and this ego that torments the virtue within us, Relentless in it endeavours, ruthless is its nature, inconsiderate is its charm, with vanity and conceit in its heart.

But alas, there is a sublime irony in this deception. The Ego is neutral and unbiased for it is an agent of Maya, a test of faith.

This ego is a test in our spiritual endeavours in which many fail and very few survive! Just as Bhraman has Maha-Maya, Maha-Maya has Ego, to each with its own seduction.

Where understanding and love are present....the Ego is tempered, only to realise that we have found a long lost friend in our perceived weakness.
