By
Col Kanwar Badam
(Pandemic has taught us many a lessons setting afire our spiritual fervour and allowing time to reflect on cosmos. Ego can yield positive or negative feelings based on our thoughts in current adverse circumstances. Soul can be a reservoir of impressions in cause and effect relationship and evolve to serve the purpose of creater.)
Ego and soul
Abstract in nature
Both interconnected
Continuously dynamic
Working with a purpose
Of the creator
For evolution of soul
Bad day for ego
May be a good day for soul
Good day for ego
May inflate your vanity
A wounded ego
May result in mental turmoil
Soul is neutral
Like a sponge
Absorbs all impressions
Rein in your ego
You are a speck
In the vast cosmos
Count your blessings
Aspire not at the
Cost of others
Balance ambitions
With your surroundings
Feel interconnected
With Ego and your Soul
What is the balm for the soul?
Forgiveness
Forgiveness isn’t a weakness
Forgiveness is courage
Holds great power
Asserts dignity
Reveals inner strength
Results into peace and harmony
What is the enemy of soul?
Vengeance
It is equally powerful
Full of negativity
Thrives on hate, anger, hurt and wound
Destroys, kills and maims
Creates conflicts,
Resentment and revenge
Opens the doors for sorrow and restlessness
Make a choice
Vengeance or Forgiveness
Vengeance leaves us
Sad and unhappy
Empty and embittered
Hollow and uneasy
Forgiveness gives
Inner peace, feeling of joy, Lightness and kindness
Bliss and harmony
Subsumes ego and
Makes soul powerful
Bad ego, good ego,
Small ego, big ego
Say good bye to toxic ego
Before loosing head
Focus on soul
Seamlessly and selflessly
Lay a bridge
To find a harmonious blend
Between
The Soul and The Ego
