Minimizing our desires and wishes, traveling path of nishkama karma yoga we could easily overpower ego forever. Nishkama karma yoga demands never attaching self to fruits of karma performed. We have to work like a trustee, caretaker… taking care of things that already belonged to God Almighty. For a true karma Yogi, welfare of entire mankind was the basic principle of life. When we worked for mankind at large, our ego negated to zero but very gradually.
Practicing positivity was also necessitated. Dwelling in positive thoughts most of time… we minimized our ego. All successful people in different walks of life had minimal ego. They all had a definite goal in life pursuing which they lost track of time. In a limited time phase of 70 to 80 years of earthly life, if we are to achieve success like Bill Gates… where was the time for indulging in ego! Ego pertaining to our absolute only goal of life was something different than normal ego.
Ego directed towards a definite goal in life was never harmful but ego directed towards trivial pursuits in life was not only harmful but also very dangerous. This results in frittering away of energies that were necessitated to reach our absolute goal of life.
