"It is not that you
are stuck in the ego and have to get out of it. You actually create the ego in every instant. Any thought, feeling or experience arises and instantly you identify with it. The feeling of tiredness arises and instantly you become the 'I am tired.' But who is tired? Only the identification with that feeling. To even say you identify with that feeling is not true. Because 'you' are born in that identification. Without that identification, there is only awareness and whatever arises and disappears in that awareness. So to be free from the ego simply means being aware of whatever arises instead of identifying with it, instead of being involved with it. Simply by resting as awareness itself, there is no ego. Only when you succumb to the addictive habit of identification does duality arise. Otherwise there is only presence.
