Points to reduce ego -By playing with children, one forgets ones status at least to some extent. -Not telling others anything about oneself: When a person constantly speaks about his happiness and sorrow, developments in worldly life, etc. to others, his attachment to the body increases. By not telling anything about oneself to others, attachment to the body automatically reduces. -Developing humility: When there is a lack of humility, ego steps in and thus nescience is enhanced. However knowledgeable a person may be, yet he cannot have knowledge like God. Hence, this shortcoming should be overcome with humility so that one acquires knowledge equivalent to that of God. The more humble we are towards every person and thing, the faster our ego reduces. -Being in an attitude of constantly learning from others rather than teaching others: Learning constantly is a unique characteristic of human nature. However, some people have forgotten this as they constantly try to teach others. As a result, they feel that they are superior and that others should listen to them and thus their ego gets inflated. As against this, when there is an attitude of learning one is aware of ones ignorance. Where there is ignorance, there is no ego.
