Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.

Quotations
Ego
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
-Deep Trivedi
Under the influence of false ego one thinks himself to be the doer of activities, while in reality all activities are carried out by nature as a natural process.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 3.27"
Even as a mirror reflects an object held close to it, one’s behavior reflects as the ego-sense in one’s consciousness. But if held at a distance, ego-sense does not arise.
-Scriptures "Yoga Vasishta"
The ego isn’t wrong; it’s just unconscious. When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Don’t take the ego too seriously.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
-Deep Trivedi
He is not obtained by mouthing mere words, but by rooting out ego from within.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in
and day out.
-Deep Trivedi
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
-Deep Trivedi
When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
