Your ego isn\'t something you should want to get rid of. Say you like a particular band and you get that tingly feeling on the back of your neck when you hear a certain song. That wouldn\'t happen without your ego forming some kind of connection to that music.

So many pleasures you experience in life are the product of your ego. There\'s nothing wrong with wanting to tweak the bits of the ego you don\'t like but getting rid of it entirely is not good. Unfortunately people don\'t realise that\'s exactly what you\'re doing when you meditate.
