Ego is body-consciousness. Ego is the feeling of “I am the doer”. Ego is the root cause of attachment, aggression and emotion. Find the source of ego and try to erase it. The things valued by ego such as wealth, beauty, status and intelligence, are not permanent. When we die, we must leave everything behind, and we do not know which breath will be our last. Let us overcome ego. An easy way to bend the ego, is to bow. Bow down to your parents; bow down to the teacher and bow down to God. This is an easy, simple yogic technique to free ourselves from the clutches of ego. A life free from ego is peaceful and full of acceptance.
