There was this great poet. His fans used to surrender to his artistic creations. On a peaceful night the poet set off to his village on a well decorated house boat sailing on the shining backwaters for his next creative pursuit. He started to write in his candle lit room. He was trying to nurture his thought process but wasnt able to bring it out. He then decided to sleep and switched the candle off.
As soon as the candle went off, he saw the moonlight painting the boat and he felt drenched under the blue spell. He couldnt stop appreaciating the beauty around him. There was enormous rush of thought ..he took out his writing pad and started to pen them. The words were now in a free roll and his creative bursts started taking shape.
I narrated you this story as this has a close resemblance to our life. Life is wonderful and has to be lived with joy. But, today we are all succumbed to worries and suffering due to a mental block we have thats denying us to enjoy life ....similar to candle blocking the beautiful moonlight , which is nothing but our 'ego'. Once you succumb to your ego you Edge God Out(Now you know why titled this aptly) and so the joy.
Lets edge our ego out and recogonize the true joy of life which is always around us.

Very true. And rightly said. Ego is one of those things that blots out mind vision, resulting in an eclipse in our lives. And there's no denying that sometimes though one knows that its his/her ego that is getting in the way, they dont wanna leggo of it. The poet here was sane enuf not to let that happen to him. The best way to snub ego wud be to start by opening up our minds, cuz its like a parachute, works only when open.
