Conquer Your Selfish Self - Rumi Poem on Overcoming Your Ego

Our ego, or "selfish self," is always trying to create more and more distance between us and our Beloved.

But we don't have to remain a slave to our ego. We have a choice to awaken and liberate ourselves from its grasp on our life, and ultimately reunite with our Beloved.

Dive into this deep poem by Rumi to learn why you should conquer your selfish self, and then begin to gradually unlearn all the false thoughts and beliefs the ego has made you accept all these years.

Full Poem:

Once you conquer
your selfish self,
don’t be bitter my friend.
You’ll regret it soon.
Hold to your togetherness
or surely you’ll scatter.

Don’t walk away gloomy
from this garden;
you’ll end up like an owl
dwelling
in old ruins.

Face the war
and be a warrior
like a lion,
or you’ll end up like a pet
tucked away
in a barn.

Once you conquer
your selfish self,
all your darkness
will change to light.

~ Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi
