Why: the true knower of the self thinks, even while seeing, hearing, touching, and so on, that they are not the doer, understanding that the senses simply function without needing the ego to claim credit for every action.
In life: a huge amount of what we do, breathing, digesting, reacting, happens without conscious authorship, we only feel like the doer of it because of habit.
Teaching: notice how much of your daily functioning happens automatically, without deliberate effort, and let that loosen your sense of needing to control or take credit for everything.
