On a very trivial level, i am reminded of that great quote:
“Confidence isn’t walking into a room and thinking you’re better than everyone, it’s walking in and not having to compare yourself to anyone at all.”
I know it is a bit different topic, but that what it feels for me sometimes. One possibility definitely seems that by dissolving the center/self in the awareness and so there is nothing that could be compared to. The second possibility is a question of priority, like having intrinsic motivation for something, loving to play an instrument so much, that the texture & play of this activity itself is so rewarding that there is no goal of comparing / even comparing to oneself because the mind channels the beauty of the activity and is fulfilled by the muse.
In a way, transcendence by dissolving the center or transcendence by letting become something else the center (an idea, activity, a vibe, flow experience in sport, love, care,..)
