Ego is a feeling of being separate from everyone. I am better than everyone, I am the most capable person etc . Not only that, I am good for nothing, oh poor me is also ego. Anything that you do to seek others’ attention is ego - More like a show off. The more insecure you are, the more you show off and hence more the ego come into play.
Its more of being in head. It is one of the layers of existence, When the child grows up , naturally the sense of identity comes to it when it is 2-3 years old. It has its role, When you are having a bad time losing all your hope, its the ego that can push you saying come on you can do it. We need to know when to use ego. When you are in business, striking a deal, contract , at work a little ego is good. It will make you stand your guard. But when you are with your loved ones, when you do seva, don’t let the ego raise its head. Use more of your heart. Yoga and meditation will help you have that awareness as when to use what.
