Ignorance, pride and ego

 

We are the capable men we have a lot of ego

Who are you? A mosquito? You can't be bigger than my ego

Ego, however mighty, 

Death,  who wields the familiar scythe, with some ferocity

The scythe is a symbol of Saturn, 

 May be seen to represent time, limitation

With no waver or hesitation

A veritable monstrosity!

Human beings are so engrossed in mundane affairs

desp'rate cares

Woes-- wants--the anxious hopes and fears

 They have no time and capacity to listen to the voice of God

But a contented soul is all alone with God

In the expanse of the Universe still untrod

 The voice of higher consciousness is always there but no one understands the eternal truth. 

Nor seek, for this is also sooth,

To hunger fiercely after truth

Man listens to his Own ego or the clamour around him, the noise of hustle and bustle, 

Jostle, hassle, elbow, tussle

He pays no attention to the ever present voice of Eternity. 

He can hear that voice only when he attains inner poise and his ever twisted mind rests in complete peace and inner harmony. 

God responds to the call of the pure and peaceful soul. 

 A prayer to grant that rare peace in which the voice of Truth can be heard.

It is said ‘Change is the law of Nature.’ 

Everything in this world is ever changing. 

The process of movement and change is perpetual. 

The pendulum of time, the cycle of seasons, the movement of planets, the activities of animals, human 

beings, all natural elements, life, wind, water etc. are always changing. 

In this process of change, the chariot of wealth is no exception. 

A person may be poor today, but he can acquire wealth by dint of his hard work. 

A wealthy man can become a pauper with the passage of time because of his bad buck and foolish deeds.

 Man should realise this fact of life and these fore should not hanker after wealth and suffer from false pride and ego. 

Or is it selfishness and ego?

The Devil, evolve beyond our ego,

Ego-related self-destructive behavior.

He should acquire wealth through honest means, utilize it for good deeds and also help other needy, poor, deserving people by using his wealth for charitable purposes.

Human life is enmeshed with all sorts of bondage.

 First  there is bondage of ignorance.

 We do not know the reality of life.

 We do not recognize the true purpose of life.

 Then there are bondages of selfish attachments and false pride and ego, and transitory pleasures of everyday life.

 All these bondages are of one’s own making and hence self-inflicted. 

We can get rid of all these bondages through

 God’s grace and love

For that, we have to surrender before him with all humility, pure mind and soul, true devotion and non-attachment.

 Fall at the hands, and under His influence all are equal. We are all connected through our mortality.

 It may also be interpreted as Death bringing an individual harvesting of our life’s work, the final ‘deadline’ 

Little time left and so much to accomplish

No one would ever know what it had cost her to accomplish 

No one will ever know the private purgatory she had been Through the via dolorosa she had traversed
