Self is understood as poornam brahman, by understanding the mahavakya.
mahavakya has 3 parts. tat pada, tvam pada and asi pada.
By understanding the pada artha vakyartha can usually be understood. In certain vakyas lakshyartha has to be taken for understanding. It is commonly used, such as when saying this is that lakshman you see, meaning there are not 2 lakshman, but same person.
Also we say brown has won. etc. to refer to brown horse.
So here tat pada refers to entire prapancha, subject and object and maya shaktivaan consciousness.
Tvam pada refers to individual body mind subject consciousness.
both are one and the same , only if we understand the formful meanings as mithya understanding and formless truth as satyam.
The truth of atma is formless consciousness, can be understood first via drk drshya viveka, and then totally understood via mahavakya as the formless reality which is non dual, which is both purna ishvara and purna as jiva in the scheme of things that is purna.
