Do not try to get rid of the ego; you will never succeed. You cannot get rid of the ego when yourself is the ego. You must know what this ego is supposed to be in actuality.
It is very much necessary to realize that the Self is not yourself because yourself is the ego, and the real Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
You cannot get rid of the ego alone. You, ego, and the world in which you exist appear together and disappear together. You are the ego. The ego is the basis of the world in which you exist. The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance.
The ego, body, and the world appear as the waking experience. The waking experience is a dualistic illusion.
Till you think your body, ego, and the world are separate from each other, you will remain in ignorance of the ‘Self’.
Remember, your body, ego, and the world in which you exist are created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.
People talk of getting rid of the ego, but it is impossible to get rid of the ego. The ego is the very basis of form, time, and space. Without the ego, form, time, and space cease to exist. Without the form, time, and space, the world in which we exist ceases to exist.
Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what' is required to get rid of ignorance. Without getting rid of ignorance, the form, time, and space prevail as a reality.
One has to get rid of ignorance, not the ego, because the ego is the product of ignorance.
Get rid of the ignorance by realizing that the ‘Self is not you, but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
