Illusions

"The greatest illusion is that we think ourselves important. It is the cause of most of the world's troubles. Being true to yourself is better than feeling important. Illusions vanish when you really know yourself." Stafford Whiteaker (from the little book of inner space)

I cant emphasize how often I "forget" these very profound words, I put on my ego in the bargain lose my patience, I think I am better than others, and lose those I love most. Is it truly possible, and is there really a way to remove ego and the notion of importance from our life and live with humble quietude?
