With every realisation,
of my profound ignorance,
This obnoxious ego of mine,
dies a little every time.
With each ray of knowledge,
a drop of my ignorance evaporates,
a slight breeze calms me down,
taking me closer to Nirvana.
It's a treacherous and uncertain journey,
but it's the most satisfying,
to discover oneself,
to reveal layer by layer,
to feel the naked truth of nothingness,
and finally to experience 'ego death'.
