Perhaps I should also have added that the knowledge that << Brahman is as
much "out there" >> leads to parOksha jnAna only and not to Realization.


Chandramouliji - PraNAms
'aham brahmaasmi' -understanding should involve - recognition (re-cognition) that everything is nothing but Brahman that I am - Hence the world that is seen - which is based on pratyaksha pramaana and the internal understanding which involves aparoxa jnanam have to merge with the recognition that I am in everything - or the Lord or Iswara is in everything and the world out there becomes only a vibhuuti. 
antar bahischa tat sarvam vyaapya naaraayana sthitaH - 
Hence Krishna's statements that follow one after the other -
sarva bhuutastam aatmaanam sarva bhuutanicha aatmani
and 
yo maam pasyati sarvatra sarvan ca mayi pasyati 
This knowledge or re-cognition has to arise in the mind of the seeker all the time - for him to be a jnaani. 
I know that you are aware of these - just based on the post
My 2c.
Hari Om!
Sadananda
