"I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?These beautiful lines remind me of the ego which develops in all of us with time. Letting go of the tyrant is a challenge and overcoming this challenge carves out a better person in us.
I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame; but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company. " - Gitanjali
