Ego is created because of the mind, which is nothing but the flow of thoughts. The thoughts are there because of the vasanas (inherent interests) we all are born with and add in our lifetime. If the vasanas are removed, the thought flow cease and the mind is eliminated. With no unnecessary thought flows, there are no agitations and hence our vision of Atman is clear. Atman (soul) in its pure nature is nothing but Truth-Consciousness-Bliss (SatChitAnanda), the pure joy and bliss felt inside us. Hence the Self (Soul) remaining the same, the bliss in an individual is directly proportional to the quietude of his mind.
When the agitation in our mind is stopped, the blissful Atman shines forth and we find amazing peace & happiness in ourselves. Hence the peace is not because of achieving or removing of external conditions (or objects), but due to the quietude of mind. We think we are happy due to the procuring (or removal) of the external object, but actually, it is due to our return to the bliss of Altman.
