SYNOPSIS
One serene morning, a yogi awakens to the gentle embrace of dawn, ready to delve into meditation. Yet, his journey to inner peace takes an unexpected turn as his Ego and Superego detach from his mind, becoming unwelcome gatekeepers to tranquility.
The yogi's path is hindered by his unruly companions: the Superego, mischievous and full of wild ideas, and the Ego, prim and judgmental. Frustrated, he wonders if there's anyone who could assist him. Then, a realization dawns: can't he simply ask for help?
