Is 'reputation' Ego's ultimate sacrifice?

Ego appears to be the common enemy... And lots of prophetic clues to suggest that. For Muslims, losing-face is the highest act of faith as worshippers prostrate on all fours. For Christians, glorifying the Messiahs public crucifixion is the only way to salvation. Hinduism, Judaism, Shintoism etc all have their own symbolic rituals that spell the same poetry...

    I don't think so. Not the ultimate. I think pride can still exist even if no-one knows you or what you stand for. Maybe (inner) confrontation with who you are while thinking you are someone/thing else is what really important.

    I like your question. Thanks.
