vasgevang in Mamāsura
se self vernietigende
egotistiese
waan


waar “ me, myself, and i ”
in die binnekring van
‘n solo heelal
bestaan


waar ek skaars bewus is
van die rol wat JÝ in
die drama
speel


waar ek die tempel van
Gaṇeśa slegs met
“ yours truly ”
deel


oorval JÝ my! verkrag
JÝ my! en bevrug JÝ
my met jou
saad


waar ek swaardragtig
aan nederigheid se
klein getalle
raak


waar ek geboorte gee
aan’n eksotiese
spierwit lotus-
blom


waar my selfbeeld in
walms van “die eie
ek” se waan
ontkom

TITEL: * bedwelmd (intoxicated) geit (nuk, streek, aanwensel)

* SELFSUG; BAATSUG - EGOTISM ( Wikipedia) - Egotism is characterized by an exaggerated estimate of ones intellect, ability, importance, appearance, wit, or other valued personal characteristics- is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself. In egotism we find the person filled with an overweening sense of the importance and qualities of his personality...the things of the "Me". Egotism means placing oneself at the center of ones world with no concern for others, including those loved or considered as "close", in any other terms except those set by the "egotist".

In the Mudgalapurāṇa (VII, 70), in order to kill the demon of egotism (Mamāsura) who had attacked him, Gaṇeśa Vighnarāja throws his lotus at him. Unable to bear the fragrance of the divine flower, the demon surrenders to Gaṇeśa.

* LOTUS FLOWER

INDIAN MYTHOLOGY: Long ago, at the end of the aeons, the whole universe had been engulfed in an ocean, and Creation was all but lost. The god Vishnu, preserver of life, whose abode is the primordial waters, was asleep in this timeless darkness, dreaming of worlds to come. As his dreams unfolded, a lotus flower emerged from his navel and revealed within its many folds the cosmic egg, in which Brahma the creator, was asleep.
As Brahma stirred, Creation began to unfold again, and new worlds, new gods, and new life appeared. In India today, the lotus is still considered to be the cradle of the universe, and many Indian deities are portrayed sitting on a large lotus flower.
