      It is just an idiomatic usage. Just like you have an altar in your puja room and you have your personal God placed in the altar and you do the puja offering flowers or naivedyam, here you offer your ego. It could be to your ista devata, to a higher ideal, to the ultimate Reality. When you surrender your ego in this manner, everything you do will be selfless action and such selfless action as a worship in this manner purifies your mind. This is the first part of definition of karma yoga. This is what is meant by giving up one’s ego at the altar of a higher authority.
