We do not possess an 'ego'.
We are possessed by the idea of one.
Why are you unhappy?

Because 99.9 per cent
Of everything you think,
And of everything you do,
Is for yourself -
And there isn't one.

One must know that one is not in order to be able to understand that we are...

A myriad bubbles were floating on the surface of a stream.
'What are you?' I cried to them as they drifted by.
'I am a bubble, of course' nearly a myriad bubbles answered,
and there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed.
But, here and there, a lonely bubble answered,
'We are this stream', and there was neither surprise nor indignation in their voices, but just a quiet certitude.
