Understand the process of the ego. How does the ego live? The ego lives in the tension between what you are and what you want to be. A wants to be B - the ego is created out of this very tension. How does the ego die? The ego dies by you accepting what you are. That you say, I am fine as I am, where I am is good. I will remain just as existence keeps me. Its will is my will.
