Ego is an error in thinking. It doesn't mean that, once the error gets corrected (i.e. one experiences enlightenment), that the thinking gets abolished. It is not ego that's the cause of thinking, it's the other way around -- erroneous thinking produces the illusion of an ego.
So, when this illusion gets dispelled, the cause of it does not get dispelled. The problem is that most people attempt to envisage the absence of self by utilizing the way of thinking that entails the self. Thus, their endeavor is doomed to failure.
