One who is a mumukShu (desirous of liberation) should deliberate
well on the meaning of the two terms tat (That) and tvaM (You) of
the mahAvAkya (tattvamasi). The fire of knowledge that blazes from
the (correct) ascertainment of (the meaning of) those two (terms)
will burn up the bonds of saMsAra completely.

After deliberating well on the meaning of the two terms, tat and
tvaM, he, who himself destroys completely the Ego within himself
with the understanding "I am Brahman", attains the Bliss of One-ness.
(From the mahAvAkyadarpaNa)
