The ego still has lot of issues with it. It just realized that it has no right whatsoever with whomsoever in future to criticize.
It has the tendency to behave instinctively if the opportunity presents itself.
Beware ! You may have very high regards about yourself and strong beliefs about yourself and what you stand for. This you is the ego or the Ahamkara in Sanskrit.
Given the opportunity the instinctive mind can "take over" your system. This taking over is what is termed as lack of self control in English. The soul inhabits the human body in this life time. After living through many many bodies of various species this body has been awarded to it governed by karma for further evolution. Due to this living in so many lives in animal bodies the basic instinctive tendencies which are : desire for food, attraction to opposite sex, shelter, fear of unknown or darkness is very much prevalent in it. It's these tendencies that are extremely hard to overcome not as a repression but through understanding.
Observing ones ego at all times reveals just how much the mind seeks pleasure and tries aversion from pain in day to day life
