Ego, the hijacker of our True Consciousness

Ego, you are the hijacker of our true consciousness,

The source of all vanity,

The root of illusions,

The limited sense of self,

The illusory “I”,

Making me a judge,

Whereby my real divinity fudge,

Our mind starts inferring,

What the ego is preferring,

Seeing oneself as Hero,

And others as Zero,

Giving my demeanor a serious blow,

Creating a place for Satan to glow,

The Ocean considering itself as the bubble,

Such a dilemma,

Knowing the true “I am”,

Will lift up the veil of ignorance,

And help us to truly awaken our consciousness,

Let’s not allow ego to hijack our true consciousness.

Meditation commentary

Hello friends, Sharing a simple guided commentary for moving inwards into a meditative state. Let’s pause and take out some time for this quiet, inward journey. You can play a soft instrumental music in the background and slowly read these words, trying to feel them deeply. Begin by sitting in a comfortable posture, and allowing your eyes to close. Put your hands on the lap and let your shoulders drop. Keep your back straight. Now, begin by taking a few slow, long, deep breaths. Breathe in fully, and breathe out fully through your nose. Allow your breath to settle into its own rhythm. Pay close attention to your breathing cycle. Notice each breath, as it enters through your nostrils, travels down your lungs, and makes your belly expand. Notice your breath flowing outside through your nostrils, contracting your belly inwards. Observe and accept your experience in this moment without judgement. Now, we shall do a gradual relaxation of our body muscles. Bring your awareness to your body.
