In spite of the understanding that ‘I’ does not refer to a separate self, which many of us may have understood, the sense of self (the me-feeling) remains, slightly altered, but not completely dead.Although we may be clear that ‘I’ refers to consciousness, the me-feeling as well as the tendency to contract requires further sadhanas.The me-feeling ends upon the establishment of ‘all is consciousness’ (‘everything is consciousness’) as your living experience, the merging of Shiva and Shakti.
