The candle that covered the moonlight

The king approached the saint for help
I have won many territories in a gulp
I have more wealth, many people serve me
But I do not have satisfaction, what you see?
The angry saint spoke, it will come, If “I” die
The king hearing felt sad for his magnanimity
He drew his sword for killing the saint directly
The “I” refers to your ‘self’ the saint told angrily
People having ego want others to hear them
They feel happy only if others give esteem
‘Edging God Out’ is what EGO really means
Happiness or God goes out from us thus
Poet Tagore was once crossing a river
Writing poetry in candlelight seemed a quiver
Without the candle, moonlight gave thoughts
River, boat, moon gave imagination in lots
Just as the candle has hidden the moonlight
Ego as candle blocks our happiness in plight
When coconut breaks tender water comes out
Like this when ego breaks happiness will sprout
