What is the difference between the ego and the pain body?

The ego is what one thinks is important. Like someone seeking fame and fortune, because if they don't have it then they are a failure. That is the ego talking.
The pain body is what is associated with not being true to oneself by following the ego. Say your desire for fame and fortune has you abandon your family and use people to make your way to the top.
The ego and the pain body feed each other.
But if you ask me, I think it is important to know who your ego is, so that you know what you need to work on and you can see and diminish your pain body more readily and easily.
