I heard from one of the ziknei roshei hayeshiva in eretz yisroel that the pshat is that the aron was nosei es nos’av, it carried those who appeared to be carrying it. His mistake was to think that without his help the aron would fall and he is the one who is preventing the fall. By a sefer torah in a shul this wouldn’t seem to apply, only the aron of the mishkan had this attribute that it carried those who carry it.
