"I am the one acting; I am the one suffering" — this is experienced directly, as plainly as anything seen. And from that comes the effort: "Let me not be a doer, let me not be one who suffers."

"I am a doer, I am a sufferer" — thus it is experienced by direct perception. "And may I not be a doer and a sufferer" — thus, from that, effort would arise.
