Ever since the act of disobedience, man has been at constant war with his greatest adversary, his EGO.
The more he gives in to his ego, the farther he gets from his divine self. His materialistic motives, quest for power and gross indifference alienate and isolate him. Enslaved by ego, the man delights in false pride, falser glory and falsest security. The quest never ends. The thirst is never quenched. Mind remains pre-occupied. The heart seethes in turmoil. Cold reason clouds wisdom and the human birth crave for justification.
Yet, the benevolent lord has a master plan. We are all endowed with his kingdom within. The moment we begin our journey inwards, the mist begins to disappear. Infinite wisdom dawns. All noise cease and calmness seeps in. Real joy springs from the heart leading to peace, harmony and poise. All it takes is just a pause and a peep within

DESIRE
My desire to live, life vanquished by no pain
My desire to secure life, life agitated with no cry of strain
I held my hopes tight,
My whole heart working hard to achieve my lovely fate
Fate which was not mine
But bandaged to my relentless ego, my desire for crime
Just to give me hope, to surge to the heaven
Which was so huge and large for my tiny soul
What is that I achieve?
Diving into the depth of time each day, each moment
Trying to stop In vain,
Still moving with the same ordain
My ego satisfied at every moment,
My past forgiven with every passing time
I get nothing, just nothing
With my heart still weeping for the fill,
Which still bothers me
Even with this mortal world at my feet
The fog of maya is gone;
The dark of passion is now dissipating
With the vision of divine slowly paving the way
The road to life is now clear;
Sun has finally risen above the smog filled town
Smog mix of desire, my ego
And my desperate run in this mortal filled town
Now I surrender, my Lord
This strained soul, to the feet of divine
Surrender of my cloak will not do
Neither will this material bless
Till my ego will have surrendered,
My desire has filled its time
To you I give
My mighty wealth accumulated and primed in this mortal life
I surrender my Lord; I surrender me my Christ,
I surrender all my ego to you
And await
My trial in the kingdom of you
Where I get an answer
To all the waste, the taste and the life I lived
With you by my side
