Let go of your EGO And you will find GOD

For God do we all search 

In temple, mosque, and church 

Little do we know that the ego does hide 

That very God that lives inside

We must let  go of the ego 

If God we must find 

And for this, we must realize 

The biggest enemy is the mind

But first, it is the ego 

That keeps saying 'I' and 'me' 

It dominates our life so much 

That God we cannot see

God is not on a faraway planet 

Nor an old man with a long white beard 

God lives in the temple of our heart

Alas, his voice is not heard

The ego makes us deaf and blind

It stops us from the truth  

And makes us pray to a statue and a saint 

And a God with a snake and a flute

What does the ego do in fact? 

It creates duality 

It makes God different from us 

And the truth we cannot see

The world has hundreds of religions 

And thousands of Gods to whom we pray 

The fact is we don't know who God is 

And we don't even know what we say

As long as the ego dominates our life 

Between God and us, it creates a veil 

And though God is right here and now 

To realize God, we fail 

Because the ego causes ignorance 

The truth we cannot see 

We believe in the myth and superstition 

And just be who we are told to be

The ego is my identity

The ego says, ‘This is me’ 

Because I keep saying 'My' and 'Mine' 

The God within, I don't see

The ego makes me suffer

Triple suffering with body and mind 

It is the ego that makes me cry 

With miseries of a different kind

‘How dare you did not do it!'

This anger, revenge,  and  hate 

It's the ego that makes us go around 

And stops us from heaven's gate

Who is, where is, what is God? 

The ego makes us juggle so much 

It makes us search here and there 

As our God, it tries to touch

But God, in reality, is within 

God has no bone, nor skin 

God is a Power that gives us life 

In the trillions of cells within

What is birth, what is death? 

Why did we come to earth? 

God is the one that makes us live 

God gives us the human birth

Without God, what are we? 

Without the Soul, we are nothing 

The body, in the end, returns to dust 

It is God that is everything

Unless we go in search for the truth 

Unless we start our quest 

We will just believe the myth 

And fail if we don't question and test

Life is like a spiritual puzzle 

The pieces we must find 

We must put together who we are 

And not live like we are blind

The truth is simple, but we don't see it

After death, there is rebirth 

It is our own actions, our Karma 

That brings us back to earth

The Soul is a Power in us,

With the body and mind, just a part 

The Mind and Ego is the one reborn

When God in us departs

But we do not realize this truth

Because the ego says, ‘It’s me’

The Soul, the God that is within 

The blind ego does not see

The ego is always looking out 

With the senses and the mind 

It does not realize the self, that's us

Being a prisoner of the mind

We are not body, we are not mind

The truth is we are the Soul 

Self-realization is the first step 

That takes us to this goal

When 'we' realize, not body and mind

 We are the Power that's the Soul 

We also realize  the  God  in  all 

That manifests as the whole

What stops us from such Realization? 

What stops us from Liberation?

It is the ego that stops us from God A

nd from Divine Unification

Man minus Ego is God 

If we remove the Ego, we will find 

God plus Ego is Man 

With Body, Ego, and Mind

So, we must let go of the ego 

If God we must find 

For as long as we think we are 'ME' 

The journey we will rewind

God actually lives within us 

His silent voice we do not hear 

Because the ego and the mind 

Make us live with a deaf ear

They make us live in this world and suffer 

Believing all this is real 

They hide the God that is within us 

As in the world we twirl

God is not far away, God is near

God is in you and me 

But as long as we believe we are the ego 

God we cannot see

The very God we are looking for

Is right inside our heart 

But the ego that is screaming day and night 

Tears the truth apart

We just live and we just die 

And God do we all seek 

It is the ego that stops our climb 

From scaling the spiritual peak

What is our life's ultimate goal? 

To realize we are the Soul 

We are the very God we seek 

Not the ego that plays its role

The ego that lives saying,‘It’s me’ 

Makes us go  round  and  round 

It stops us from finding God within 

As it fixes us to the ground

The truth is this and nothing else 

God lives in us within 

Let us stop going in search outside 

And go within our skin

What stops us from going within

It is the ego and the mind 

Though God is very near in us 

Our Lord we never find

God never leaves us even for a moment 

God is with us all the time 

But the ego is craving for this and that 

And so God we do not find

It's easy, all that we must do

Let go of the ego and mind 

Then shining deep within 

God we will find
