Ego And Love Cannot Be In Harmony Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Ego And Love Cannot Be In Harmony

Rating: 5.0


Ego does not know the unknown
and unknowable.
Ego does not know the transcendent.

Love‘s way is a real spontaneous way
to the unknown and unknowable

Ego talks about itself.
Love refrains from it.

Ego boasts.
Love simply smiles.

Ego does not rest on the Real Self.
Love knows only to rest on the Real Self.

Ego embraces the False Self.
Love does not know the False Self.

Ego and love cannot be in harmony

hi, tony! familiar as i am with scripture, two come to mind in response to this piece of yours. one is the the whole of 1 corinthians chapter 13 which some think of as the love chapter in the bible. the other is from the beginning of the same letter where paul points out the only the Spirit can discern spiritual things. grace and peace! glen

This is very truly observed and carefully observed. Love‘s way is a real spontaneous way to the unknown and unknowable. Ego does not know the same and just reverse. Love does not know false self and ego embraces this and that is why they cannot remain in harmony. An amazing poem is wisely penned and shared.10
