Imagine that your mind is like a car. The ego is like the driver of the car. It’s the part of you that makes decisions, thinks about yourself, and interacts with the world around you. Just like a driver controls the car, your ego helps control your thoughts and actions.

Sometimes, people might say someone has a “big ego.” This means they think they are better than others or are very self-centered, like a driver who thinks they own the whole road!

In Buddhism there is the idea of oneness – unifying the driver and car and indeed all cars as being part of one bigger system.
