self realization is not self expression

"We have seen our Beloved, and our Beloved tells us all. Still, realization is difficult, for it involves discerning the difference between me and you. What is the difference? It is great question, a great problem. Our 'I' and 'you' are just like a compass with which we draw circles on paper. The one point of the compass is the 'I', the other point is the 'you', and where they join there is no ‘I-you'. The 'I' and you only remain as long as we see ourselves; but when we rise above them or beyond them, the thought brings us nearer and nearer to God..."

    " Self Expression ? We are all expressing ourselves all the time. The question then is can we express something other than ourselves."
