778. Under The Tyranny Of ‘i’! Poem by Raman Savithiri

778. Under The Tyranny Of ‘i’!

Rating: 5.0


Want to collect my straying thoughts
To make a string of word knots
To let go emotions that of heart’s

Whether it is a social service
Or it is deadly deed of malice
There stands ‘I’ with iron seize!

Even in a room tightly closed
Even in meditative posture isolated
There comes inside ‘I’ fully armed

Decades together the battle goes
Even in exhausted body’s snooze
In dreams creepy forms of ‘I’ gaze!

I eat and drink to fulfill ‘I’
I mate and breed to fulfill ‘I’
I hate ‘I’ only to strengthen its tie!

Is there a way out?
Helplessly often I shout!
Tears only stream out! 300509

Don’t resist, just watch the thing which wants to remove the “I”. And thing which distastes the “I” is ego itself. And more you try to remove the “I” stronger it would become. Just watch the game of mind and slowly and slowly thoughts would stop coming and arising in your mind and slowly and slowly your mind will be fill with joy and peace. And when there is not thought, no emotions then there is no ego and no “I” then what remains there is bliss, peace and the God. SO WATCH AND ASSUME A WITNESS POSITION.☺
