I think this seeming contradiction is easy to resolve. An average man identifies with his mind, that selfish ego. Buddhism tells how to raise consciousnesses one level above: and from there, mind looks like a tool lacking any self or identity. Hindu tells that there is only one I in the universe that projects itself thru many such minds, and once it stops identifying with them, it learns that those many selves are false, that many is one and only that one is real.
