Summary/Abstract: The Zen philosophy of life represents the spontaneous way of living. When we talk about Zen the language of poetry is the closest to its verbal interpretation. In this relation the style of Exupery is purified to the simplicity of a fairy-tale. The poetics of the text puts an accent on the aesthetics as an existention of life, where Exupery is codifying his philosophy of reaching the Enlightment. Conscious emancipation from the Ego illusions in the context of Satory is a road to awakening of the deepest, purest, over Ego Wisdom. Contemplation and quiet humbleness embodied in Little Prince carry a significant sign of good will in seeking Enlightment.
