SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Let the shattered ego raise its tattered flag,

Pennant of Surrender, which it will drag,

Battered, when Self Enquiry makes it fall,

Scattered by Self Realisation, once and for all.

Mad hatter mind is most defiant

And doesn't matter to be Self reliant,

But earlier or latter it's force will fall,

To the mighty power of the God of all.

Because ego's flag isn't meant to last,

It's cast down by the stormy blast,

Of the Sat-Guru's benevolent grace.

Good pilgrim now knows his original face.

Ego's death means it will not grow fatter,

Feeding on endless natter and chatter,

Beaten troops surrendered, their flag they waved,

Thus the Guru beats ego and devotee is saved.
