So often, spiritual people are expected to let go of their egos. Through meditation, self sacrifice, surrender to a higher power among other things. Trying to get rid of the ego is like trying to run from your own shadow. The faster you run the faster it chases you. The only way to make it disappear is to turn on the light.
At the same time the ego is a necessary part of your temporal being. Don't be afraid to have one. Without it, a normal life can be quite difficult. The best thing I can say about it is: The ego isn't really you, let it be your friend, your companion, yet know that the real you is always in charge.
