Ego is not pride.

 Ego is not pride. Ego is a sense of finitude. You are infinite and not ego. Ego behaves like boss. Boss is Atman. Substratum of ego that you are. You are not ego,body,mind,intellect. You are atman the infinitude. Ego takes credit of body min intellect actions. 

Ego is due to ignorance. Surrender ego to Iswara and be free. All problems are only due to ego in the world between families, between countries, between societies, and within body mind intellect. Shed ego and abide in your nature Atman the sathchithananda.
