A man walking along the sidewalk suddenly slips and mourns over his own death since he sees his shadow being run over by a truck. This is surely a case of mistaken identity. In our case too, the Seer(Self) and the seen(body) seem to have become one. We think ‘I am the body’ and consequently we suffer.
