My experience with ego

I see an unfamiliar path
I sense a deep curiosity 
I wish to go and explore 
To discover and experience those unknowns

"Stop and stay!🤨 "orders an authoritative ego
I fight, rebel and move more

"Look at the comforts we have!🤗"  displays a manipulative ego
Momentarily attracted but letting go, 
I smile and wave it off, moving on more

"You will lose your identity!😠warns a threatened ego
I contemplate, shrug and go on, seeking the unknown

"Don't leave me alone!!😭pleads a scared ego
I look at it compassionately, grateful for its duty done, but hastening further, I go on

"You've made me break!😖yells a broken, shattered ego
I empathize with it, acknowledge its pain, and move on

"Who am I ?😵whimpers a nonexistent ego
I leave it alone to its questions, moving on

Lo behold, the path that hath unfolded,
Seemingly long, tiring and infinite before me

Now dissolves into a fantastic, unimaginable source of light 
No longer waiting for but seeking me

"How did this happen?" I think idly
An answer issues from the light beautifully 

The journey wasn't towards me outwards
But towards me ever present in you

To reach me, the ego had to go
Painfully shattered, existing no more

Oh elevated being, know this true
Your identity is, was and will be Me and not thy ego.

Now that you've given up your earthly list
Enjoy this cosmic bliss :)

Moral Stories for the Modern World

Hello Dear Readers!!!! It gives me immense pleasure in writing my first article in this Blog as the Editor, and I hope I can do at least half as much as what my Sister, the Author, has done over time through her articles in this Blog. So, let's begin!  In our childhood, one thing that literally everyone of us would've invariably done is to listen to stories. As kids, we were told many stories by various people, the purpose of telling the stories ranging from making us eat to try and lull us to sleep. And some other stories were told just for the sake of telling them, maybe in what we had as 'story time'. So, in this story time, we all would remember listening to 'Moral Stories'. These were short, enthralling stories that had a simple moral at the end, like "Honesty is the best policy". And yes, we can never deny the role of these moral stories in shaping the very very basic values in our hearts that we still hold close to us. However, are moral stories...

BYOV- Be Your Own Valentine

Greetings wanderer! I sure hope January 2021 has been a month of reflections, insights, celebrations and joy for you as it has been for me. I cannot believe the extent to which I have accelerated in my spiritual journey and I have my amazingly supportive and wonderfully open minded soul family to thank ( shout out to y'all! ) for being with me every step of the way. Alright, before you switch tabs or exit this page entirely (I promise it contains exactly what the title says... bear with me as you always lovingly do), I dive deep into today's topic (which has a lot to do with the preamble of this article) and announce to your ever supportive eyes that this year on, I am my own valentine (by choice)! Self Partnering is the new Single What do I mean by that?  I mean to say I have learnt to unconditionally accept and love the beautiful jumble of soul, spirit, mind, muscle and bones that forms me. I have promised to me that I'll nurture myself everyday and strive to transform al...
