Hare Krsna
" Although the impersonalist rises to the Brahman effulgence and enters into that effulgence, he has no engagement in the service of the Lord, and therefore he is again attracted to materialistic philanthropic activities. Thus he comes down to open hospitals and educational institutions, feed poor men and perform similar materialistic activities, which the impersonalist thinks are more precious than serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Anadrta-yusmad-anghrayah.
The impersonalists do not think that the service of the Lord is more valuable than serving the poor man or starting a school or hospital.
ALTHOUGH THEY SAY BRAHMA SATYAM JAGAN MITHYA - " BRAHMAN IS REAL, AND THE MATERIAL WORLD IS FALSE " - THEY ARE NONETHELESS VERY EAGER TO SERVE THE FALSE MATERIAL WORLD AND NEGLECT THE SERVICE OF THE LOTUS FEET OF THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD. "

Focus on our hypocrisy rather than others. Hare Krsna.
The well-known two bird analogy (jivatma and Paramatma) appears in Rgveda samhita 1.164.20-22, Mundaka Upanisad 3.1.1-2, Svetasvatara Upanisad 4.6-7, SB 11.11.5-6, and possibly elsewhere.
Adi Sankara tries to hide the second bird - He doesn't seem to mention the two bird analogy in his BG bhasya (I couldn't find it) and in Viveka cudamani 145 speaks of one bird only:
bIjaM saMsRti-bhUmi-jasya tu tamo deh'Atma-dhIr aGkuro
rAgaH pallavam ambu karma tu vapuH skandho'savaH zAkhikAH
agrAN'Indriya-saMhatiz ca viSayAH puSpANi duHkhaM phalaM
nAnA-karma-samudbhavaM bahu-vidhaM bhoktA'tra jIvaH khagaH.
The seed of the samsara tree is ignorance, identification with the body is its shoot, desire is its first leaves, activity its water, the bodily frame its trunk, the vital forces its branches, the faculties its twigs, the senses its flowers, the manifold pains arising from various actions its fruit, and the bird on it is the individual experiencing them.
