"gleich" kannst du als "sich gleichen" verstehen. Es handelt sich um zwei Dinge, die sich sehr stark ähneln, bis hin zu absoluter Ununterscheidbarkeit. Es sind allerdings immer noch zwei verschiedene Dinge.
"selbe" drückt aus, dass es eben nicht zwei verschiedene Dinge sind, sondern nur 1.
Mein Bruder hat das gleiche Auto wie ich. (ähnlich)
Er hat das selbe Ziel wie ich. (identisch)
