Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume IV - Part 2

Pride is only one form of ego – there are ten thousand others. Every action of man is full of ego – the good ones as well as the bad, his humility as much as his pride, his virtues as much as his vices.

To get the ego out of the human nature is not so simple as that. If one is free from ego, does nothing with reference to himself or for his own sake but only for the Divine and all his thoughts and feelings are for the Divine, then he is Jivanmukta and a Siddha Yogi.
