Ego is the sense of doership. Whenever one does something it affects your
own mind. In that sense it creates a distortion or deformation in the
mind away form its pure state. This results in karma eventually coming
back to you - whether good or not so good effects are experienced. both
are bondages. Spirituality is about identifyying with higher
consiousness. Ego is not highest consciousness it is a qualification of

Cosmic Will
