To be a living being ("I am“) is not the ultimate state; there is something beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor not-being, neither living nor not living. It is a state of awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time. The same source of the will (desire) to live, a source deeper even than life itself. The 'I' is there even without the 'am'. -- Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj

But that is not true because they mistakenly take the ego to be the sense of individuality (a mistake that is extremely easy to make).

I don't agree that the sense of individuality disappears but rather individuality is embraced and our relationship to others is also embraced.
Imo, that is an enlightened master, to walk in unity with all universal things.
