Ok, so the word EGO is actually misinterpreted. I recently learned something so interesting in Psychology.
Basically, we all have this:
ID {PLEASURE PRINCIPLE} - [In the UNCONSCIENCE] - Irrational. The most powerful part of the mind. Strives for satisfaction and pleasure regardless of the cost.
EGO - [In the CONSCIENCE] - Much less powerful than the Id, has little power of behavior, tries to maintain a balence between the Id and the Superego.
SUPEREGO {MORALITY PRINCIPLE} - [Mostly in the CONSCIENCE] - Contains the rules of society, moral part of the mind, is in conflict with the Id.
Ego would be at the centre of this, so when Sikhism says to renounce the Ego, doesn't it mean 'renounce your Id'? or what? Please discuss...
