Ego needs the other to be there. All alone by yourself, your ego falls off!

That is why a very egotistic person is either very comfortable being alone, or very uncomfortable being alone. They want someone else to express their ego, or because they are so tired of expressing all the time and nothing has worked, they like to be alone.

If you are natural, you don’t mind if there are people or if there are no people, because you are the same.

- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
