However, the self itself believes that, ‘The effect is indeed happening to me!’

The Real can be Seen through the divya chakshu (divine eyes) that, ‘This is God, and this is not God.’ The two parts can be Seen as separate. God is amurt (invisible), which means that He cannot be Seen through the eyes, through something that has form (roopi). God can be Known through the Knowledge that is beyond the sense organs (aroopi Gnan), He can be recognized through His Conduct as the Self (Charitra).
