To a Self realised Being, this entire perceived world is his own self, or, His own body is just like an object to him. When his thoughts are diverted to the center of God consciousness [the Heart within, Hridaye] then he feels the existence of God consciousness in oneness in the objective world and in the world of negation [of objects and bodily states. All differentiation ceases, everything is Self, Shiva Sutra 1.14-15, Swami Lakshmanjoo
