EGO is AHANKARA. It means the maker of "I". Ego is sattwic, Egoism is when the notion of "I am" becomes mixed . The idea of body and mind. Ego without egoism is atma. Egoism crystallized our consciousness into a seemingly separate existence.
Three types of Ego
*Sattvic-identify with total
*ego that deciphers the subtleties of soul
*Negative ego-assert consciousness of I, ME and Mine
Ego asserts identity
Sattva-asserts divine nature
Rajas-asserts identity with position and intelligence(position/possession, seeds of pride and vanity)
Tamasic-identity with body and mind
Yoga is to remove veil of ego, through purification
*jnani, through vichara
*karma, through sacrifice
*bhakti, through surrender
Anger is a negative vritti, born out of unfulfilled desire
Anger is born in thinking of objects, then attachment, then desire, then anger, then delusion, then memory is loss, loss of reason, perish.( this chain of emotional delusions is taken from the Gita)
Types of Anger:
*Displeasure
*Frustration
*Sarcasm
*Passive aggression
*Fury
