Enlightened Ego

We all have an Ego, it is there in our head

It will go along with us till we are dead

It is the one that, 'I', 'me' and 'mine', has always said

It is the Ego that causes anger, the Ego that causes hate 

It brings in agony, pushes peace out of the gate

Alas! We suffer through life with it and it’s too late!

The Ego has a best friend, It is our rascal Mind

The Mind fools us to believe that the Ego is 'I', we find 

Together the Mind and Ego become ME, in which we grind

As long as the Ego is ignorant, we will live as 'I' 

We will not go on a quest, we will just cry and die! 

It's time to ask the valid question, 'Who am I?'

Am I this Body? No, I am not! One day, it will go

I came 9 months before, after that the Body did grow

As long as I don't Realize this, I'll suffer through the show

We all suffer the triple suffering after we come to earth 

It is the Ego and the Mind that makes us take this birth 

If we Realize we are the Soul, then there is no rebirth

How can the Ego be Enlightened? We must Realize the Truth 

We're not the Body or the Mind, get to the bottom of the root 

We'll Realize we are the Soul, that will be our fruit

The Ego can't be annihilated, it can't be killed!

But it can be Enlightened, if the mind is stilled

This will never happen, if with ignorance, we are filled

It's the Ego that is responsible for revenge and greed

It makes us proud and selfish, this happens indeed!

But when the Ego is Enlightened, we can pull out the weed

'Who am I?' we ask, when we go on a quest

 'I am not 'I',' is the rest of the test

Then, I will never die, this becomes our crest

When from man, you remove the Ego, you will Realize God

As, when to God, you add Ego, you get man and lose the Lord 

We can be Enlightened with this equation, which we forgot!

The truth is that we are not the different Bodies, we seem to wear 

We are in fact, the Divine Soul, the Supreme we all share

 But to realize this Truth is truly very rare!

When the Ego is Enlightened, we Realize, we are all Divine 

Manifestations of the Supreme, we are all that Sunshine 

But we are lost in ignorance, in pleasure and in wine

When the Ego is Enlightened, there is Bliss, Love and Peace 

When we let go of the Ego, agony and anguish will cease 

Little do we Realize, the Ego's big disease!

'Not this, Not this,' The truth is, 'We are that' 

Not the Body or Mind, we are the Soul, in fact! 

The Enlightened Ego is the one who bells the cat!

The Ego that is not Enlightened, believes, 'I am 'I' '

It lives and it suffers and it cries till we die

But the Enlightened Ego is blissful, Realizing, 'I am not 'I''

The Enlightened Ego saves us from all misery on earth 

When we Realize the Truth, then there is no rebirth 

So, Enlighten the Ego, priceless is its worth!
