I-Ness

‘I’ denotes the ego Root cause of evils ‘I’ carries tonnes of egoism Makes human devils.

Anger, pride, jealousy, greed Sturdy branches of tree ‘I’ Which have roots in mind It creates the feeling of ‘my’.

‘I’ and ‘mine ‘play great mischief Make one brute and ferocious Fill animal instincts in one’s mind Make the human avaricious.

Lesser the ‘I-ness’ in mind More the comfort in life Make a clean mind-mirror Cutting ‘I-ness’ by knowledge knife
