The ego is a servant to God or the ultimate, non dual consciousness. In a world of duality, the ego is necessary to navigate and do worldly affairs, but only keep the ego as much as the situation requires. It's a tool, not more.

The Ego is part of you it can be viewed as a tool but it is an expression of self-understanding. It is a reflection of your soul, as much a mirror reflects your being. Don't let your ego rule you, dont exalt your ego above your fellow man and especially not above God. Embrace it and tame it, pester it and shame it, critique it and refine it, and let it live free.

You will also find that by not clinging to the ego, you experience ego death every second you're in idle meditation. The resulting ego, once returned, will not be the same as the previous iteration. An egoless person does have ego, infinitely many of them, but they can never be pinned down.
