How is the ego different from the Self

My dear friend Mirko from Italy asked me this question. I did tell him what I knew theoritically but my knowledge is tainted and I have really not experienced it to say it to him properly.
Fortunately the timing of my master course study today was so right that I got just the answers that I and my friend needed. The answers are in sloka 27 and 28 from my guru.

From now on I learn that its best to point to my gurus words instead of me trying to explain in my own words.
Jai Ganapathi!


Update: Ego appears when the seer identifies himself with the instrument of seeing. This misidentification is maya.
