My younger self and my older self
My younger self, ego,Tells me that I can be happy
By being separated from the oneness-soul.
    My larger self, oneness universal,
Tells me that there is no such thing
As ego-separativity.
It is all oneness-song,
    Oneness-perfection,
    Oneness-reality.
I and my older self together shall stay,
Together shall sing,
Together shall dance.
Sri Chinmoy, A God-Lover's Earth-Heaven-Life, part 2, Agni Press, 1974
