Awareness serves to relate objectivity with subjectivity in such a way that the object ultimately comes to rest in the self-awareness of the subject. In reality, reflective awareness is always awareness of ‘I’ (ahamvimarsa); it never objectivises even when, in the form of the awareness of ‘this’ (idamvimarsa), it reflects upon the object. The experience we have of things existing outside consciousness is due to lack of self-awareness. The awareness of the object is never ‘out there’; it is registered and known within the subject. All forms of awareness come to rest in the subject.

Thus, the advice to “Know the Knower”! To know even as one has been known:

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
