Asmita — ego identification

Asmita is the subtle identification with your self-image—the belief that you are your accomplishments, your personality, your wounds, or your spiritual progress. It's more sophisticated than ego but equally limiting; yoga psychology treats it as a fundamental klesa (affliction) to be seen through, revealing the awareness that can observe the image without becoming it.
