Ego & Self

Ego is identification with a small role that you play, any limited identity. Ego is – ‘I am something, I am intelligent, I am stupid, I like this, I don’t like that, I am rich, I am poor, I am ugly or I am beautiful, I am teacher, I am doctor, I am something, I am, that is ego. The identity or label you put on yourself is ego.

When you understand all this then you feel, “Is this the thing?” Do I exist only in the limited boundaries of the roles that I play? No! After understanding ego also, there is something left, what is this? That is the self.
