Ego Makes Miserable

Dancing butterfly and singing bird make us believe that happiness and joy is nothing special and extraordinary. We can well be happy with the feeling of being ordinary and simple. For being simple we complicate ourselves. This makes us uncommon and extraordinary. This is not real state of being, thus it makes us miserable and in some way or other way it takes us away from ourselves. The more we become enclosed in ourselves and become meticulous in our practices of life, it only goes on becoming increasingly meaningless.
The day we learn, how to read, difficulty begins because it gives rise of self and starts accumulating material of ego. It simply goes on rising with our own personality development and finally it becomes very difficult to get out of this trap.
