What Is Ego?
Ego is when you put yourself above someone, when you think yourself to
be superior than others.
There is no good or bad ego.

The Common Misconception
A common misconception that many of us
have is that EGO IS PRIDE…
Ego is far more pervasive than pride.
Ego expresses itself in a thousand ways other than pride.
The ways of ego are very settled and are seen everywhere whereas you do not keep expressing your pride everytime.

Simple Defination
Whatever you have taken from outside and just internalised is
ego. As simple as that.

Have attached
an ‘I’ with it.
Everything on outside
that you get attached
with.
Everything that you have
taken from outside and internalised.
All your identities that come
from outside.
All your beliefs
that come from
outside
Ego is sum
total of all these.

The Attached ‘I’
Example:-
A compliment comes from outside ’You are brilliant’ and you attach an
‘I’ to it.
What is the statement then?
‘ I am brilliant’.

The fact is that which is real, which is the truth and you can know it only by yourself, it is not someone else’s
opinion.
Finding the fact out for yourself is the real observation.

Knowing The TruthTruth is nothing to be borrowed,
truth cannot be taken from someone, and if you have taken something from someone and
assume it to be truth, that exactly is called EGO.

Observation V/S Evaluation
Though you are trying to mean the same thing this observation, all this evaluation that you

Then your decisions are totally yours.
