"my ego is taking a big hit"

Your ego, your wants, your desires, how others see you, how you see others, is all an illusion, a covering.

You are a spark of light, like every other.

You wear this ego like clothes.

Your dying ego would take your spark of light within it, than to die alone.

My ego is also an illusion.

A spark of light resides within me.

My ego is also a covering.

I have a 6 figure job. I have good friends. I'm good with my family. I have lots of savings.

But none of these things matter.

I can be homeless, and be just as satisfied.

All it matters is, I know there's a spark of light inside me.

A spark of light identical to yours.

Let your ego die, let the spark of light shine through.

For you are not your ego.

Your ego is dying, and I can see you so clearly.

Light is here, and ego is there.

Build a new ego. This time, it's not your master.

It is your slave.

You have $2000 more dollars than every other homeless person on the street.

Your ego waits for your command.

What will it do to safeguard the spark of light?
