In plain words
The poet, of the Lord: Except for those who strive to shed the many bodies that keep changing, as a single magizh seed used in counting stands now for little, now for much [so the self enters now an ant, now a Brahmā], it is hard, even for those who long to see him, to see our First Lord with the tall crown of radiant gold, who appears like a light breaking from parted clouds.
