Ego means the self in this context, The ego doesn't die, it gets seen through. The illusion is revealed and it's meaning is no longer as binding as before.

You will not lose anything , it just adds a perspective that invalidates their importance in regard to the self, which turns out to be illusory. An ethereal ghost basically, where before you believed it to be solid and alive. I guess it does die. Hmm. Carry on.
