Even if you win in ego it is a loss. Even if you lose in love it is a victory.
Ego is just a feeling of having a wall between you and others. There is no wall. You belong to me and I belong to you. You are accepted the way you are.
Look at your life in contrast with the magnitude of creation, space and time. Your life becomes insignificant. Ego disappears.
Yoga is a study of life, study of your body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, and ego. Study of your inner faculties!
