Our human birth is immersion into illusion and with it samsara. Still we have the potential or capacity to transcend this illusion. Ultimately, we can transcend the subject-object relationship or the same, the perceiver-percept duality and forgo samsara.
By the way, this dual knowing (vijñāna) is what is necessary to produce an embryo that will leave its mother's birth canal in approximately nine months.
But most of don't negate the subject-object relationship. We don't because we are still deeply tied to our previous memories. These memories have their own realness and allure. These memories always point back to samsara. They cannot go beyond it.
The trap of samsara is ingeniously made by us.
