You will not find the ego.
If you go in, if you search
for it, you will not find it there.
It has never existed.
It is just a false
substitute.
It has some utility, that's
why you have invented it.
Because you don't know
your real being, the real center, and without a center it is difficult to
function, you have created a fiction, a fictitious center, and you function
through it.
The real center is hidden.
You have created a false
center -- the ego is a false center, a substitute center.
Without a center it is
difficult to exist, difficult to function.
You need a center to
function.
And you don't know your
real center, so the mind has created a false center.
Mind is very skilled in
creating substitutes.
It always gives you a
substitute if you cannot find the real, because otherwise you will go
mad.
Without a center you will go
mad.
You will get scattered,
you will become fragmented;
there will be no unity.
So the mind creates a false center... the
ego
