The true self is pure love and beauty and I feel the author means that when we finally meet this part of ourself . It is then that we will greet ourselves with elation. It is then that we can truly be. We can sit and feast on our lives, look with love admiration and without judgement on our lives, on ourselves. Because when we finally discover who we truly are, finally meet our true self we go past ego, we can just simply Be. This is probably the most beautiful poem I have ever read.
