Eradicate self-justification. Then alone can you annihilate your ego.
The ego isn’t wrong; it’s just unconscious. When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Don’t take the ego too seriously.
There are two forces strongly present in you; one, your 'witness' and second,

If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in

Before doing any good unto others, it is necessary for a person to know the
difference between soulful happiness and egoistic happiness. If you tamper with
someone's ego, then along with him, even you will be badly trapped.
-Deep Trivedi
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
-Deep Trivedi
Only he, who lives freely can enjoy life to the fullest. An egoist can never live
freely. And it is also true, how can a person tied up in numerous bondages do
anything else but die each moment he lives?
