Ego

The Ego takes the driver's seat
in this material world,
and moves the vehicle of Self,
toward its distant goals.

But sitting by the Ego's side,
is Soul, in wise support,
to offer words of wisdom;
to keep us on our course.

We do not have to listen,
to what Soul has to say,
but when the Ego feels secure;
that is the only way.

When both are brought together,
the way might still be hard,
but all will be accomplished;
and Self is truly found.
