How to control ego? Many times I have thoughts that represent ego in me. Though I know that these are egoistic yet I don't know how to destroy these egoistic thoughts. As far are know we can control lust (kaam), anger (krodh), attachment (moha), greed (lobh) and jealousy (irshya) by self control (aatm-sanyam), silence (maun), knowledge (gyan), satisfaction (santosh) and love (prem) respectively. What is for ego (ahankaar/ghamand)?
