Ego, A Sleeping Beauty Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

When you sleep, you exist
But your mind and ego
With sense organs would sleep.

Mind perceives things around
Through sense organs employed
And reasons the effects.

Ego is behind the mind.
It influences mind
In taking decisions.

Decisions taken cause
Happiness or sadness,
Which disturbs calmness.

While you sleep, ego sleeps
And, hence, calmness prevails
Despite your existence.

Your ego put to sleep,
You can get peacefulness
Even in waking stage.
