Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to understand and assimilate. (Manduka Karika)
The bee builds a hive to collect the honey, but the bee is unaware of the fact that the honey it collected is enjoyed by many. In the same way, wisdom is enjoyed by many without the knowledge of the propagator.

This must be what it means – Whoever has attained the knowledge of the Atman and his unity with it and thereby has been delivered from the illusion of individual existence into the understanding of the infinite truth, his good and evil deeds come to zilch. They are no longer his deeds, simply because he is no longer an individual. And having attained this communion, he ceases to perform any deeds or anticipate any returns from the deeds. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
