This is a great thread and the conjunction with the Bible quote caught my eye, because self and other are a dependent pair. No-self implies no-other too. So this can be interpreted as referring to a mystical experience obtained through stillness (meditation) where the selfhood of I and the otherness of God merge together into oneness / nonduality.

Alternatively if we aren't in a mystical state, it can be used as a reminder of how we can find the otherness of God (or the sacred) through stillness too.
