The Ego vs The Self
Like two golden birds perched on the selfsame tree,
Intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body.
Intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body.
The former eats
The sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life
While the latter looks on in detachment.
The sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life
While the latter looks on in detachment.
