1544- Why do you disappear, when you meet God?

In simple terms,ego represents the negative trait. True humbleness is simply egolessness. It is dropping all personality and the decorations one has accumulated around oneself and just being like a small child who does not know who he is and is innocent.("Truly I tell you, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven"Math18:3).
 
Ego (ahamkaaram) does not allow to give credit to God's grace, for whatever is achieved and wants to hog the credit itself. If one gets rid off negative traits and attains benevolent traits while dedicating oneself as well whatever he does- in God's name , one elevates oneself to Godhood filled with His effulgence. ("...there is no offering more worthy, no satisfaction greater, for the washing away of sins and to offer oneself purely and completely to God..."- Imitation of Christ)
