Translation
It is illumined by the functions of all the senses, yet (in reality) it is without any senses; it is unattached yet sustains all; it is without qualities yet experiences the qualities. (That Brahman) dwells within and without all beings; it is moving and unmoving. Being subtle, it is unknowable; it is far and yet exceedingly near. And it is undivided, yet it abides in beings as if divided. That knowable Brahman is the sustainer, destroyer and originator of all beings.
