Will the ego ever die?

The short answer is NO.

The long answer is, no, it won't. However, one can manage to have almost no ego. Ego is like a stretchable translucent material that can be slowly stretched to the point that the material actually becomes transparent. The more we feel secure about ourselves, the more we can stretch our ego so that it can easily accept criticisms, handle inferiority or superiority complexes, and let lamentations go away.

It is very easy to feel secure. No manifestation in this world that we can perceive can be complete without our presence. In order for any reality to be complete, the presence of you, I, or whoever is perceiving must be there. That is why, everyone who can feel the present moment, and perceive the reality is equally important for the manifestation to fully present itself. No matter what anyone says or thinks, that is TRUE.

The ego is there because we fail to realize this. Even if we realize it, we often forget. Yes, we may not be to always remember this and let the ego rest in peace. But if we remember this very often, we can let the ego rest in peace most of the time. :)
