to destroy self
to burn out the self
it is difficult

why not see from it
the BIG PICTURE of the
WHOLE

The self in you is the self in me is the self in all...it's good if we understand what's is 'self 'rather than trying to destroy it... i think by 'self' there you mean ego...if am right, i liked this piece...thanks

Self is the soul that can never be destroyed, but can be realized by constant meditation.

Nice verses. We need not live through it. We ARE it already. What is needed is a little bit of insight and self realization. Our gross nature has to be elevated through higher level of perception. Bhagavat Geetha says 'Udhareth...'. No external aid would come to our help for self evolvement other than our own higher self. Nobody can teach even a child for this matter.

Well, if this poem is meant to be a play upon words, it's a good one, samanyan. If it's supposed to be something else, I just don't get it. Carl.
