At the relative level

"Why did he say that?" Ultimately, it's because of the pain and sorrow planted previously in other person's consciousness. While regrettable, it's not a personal affront.

At the relative level then, we use words like "self" and "other" as convenient fictions or expedients. And in fact, we must take care to consider this level in our day-today dealings, making sure we aren't trying to bypass our emotional issues in the name of deeper truth.

In this paragragh what does 'At the relative level' mean? Does it mean from other person's point of view or in other person's shoe?

Thanks in advance!
