You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego.+

The ego, body, and the world are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. The ego is the false self within the false experience (waking).

You are not the Self. You and your experience of the world are part of the illusion. The Self is not you. If the Self is not you, then the question of your body, your ego, your memories your experience of the world, and your karma is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. 

The  Advaitic wisdom dawns only when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the   Soul, which witnesses you and the world together.

The body, the ego, and the world are made of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. In reality, there is no physical body, no ego, and no world, because there is no duality. 

There is only unity in diversity because the ego, body, and the world are one in essence.

Remember:~

You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego. Without the ego, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist. In the awareness of the ego, the world in which you exist is a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the dualistic illusion or Maya prevails as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the three states prevail as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the ‘I’ prevails as a reality.

If ‘I’ prevails as reality the ignorance prevails as reality.

Self-knowledge or Advaitic wisdom is necessary to get rid of ignorance.

Without Self-awareness, the universe prevails as reality. Self-awareness means the conscious awareness of the Soul hidden by the ‘I’. In Self-awareness, the reality of the universe fades away.:~ Santthosh Kumaar
