Context:
Even when living without any support and eager for achievement,
the stupid are still nourishing samsara,
while the wise have cut at the very root of its unhappiness.
~Ashtavakra Gita (Chapter-18, Verse-38)

नायमात्मा बलहीनेन लभ्यो न
च प्रमादात्‌ तपसो वाप्यलिङ्गात्‌।
एतैरुपायैर्यतते यस्तु विद्वांस्तस्यैष
आत्मा विशते ब्रह्मधाम ॥
This Self cannot be won by any who is without strength,
nor with error in the seeking,
nor by an askesis without the true mark:
but when a man of knowledge strives by these means
his self enters into Brahman, his abiding place.
~Mundaka Upanishad (Chapter-1, Section-2, Verse-4)

~ What's the main reason you're unhappy?
~ Why does liberation require strength?
~ Why does the ego not reflect back to itself?
~ How is the life of a human?
~ What is the ego?
