There is the dual nature of self: The incomplete self and the complete self... As humans, we are seeing from the perspective of the incomplete self. This incomplete self is undoubtedly very important. But if we attach to this incomplete self, although this incomplete self is important, then we’ll never be able to experience the complete self. We Zen people say, if you believe in God, this complete self means the same thing as God. That is it shares the same standpoint as God.
