Ātmabodhaḥ

Verse 53

var दीपवच्छश्वदन्तरेव, alsoउपाधिस्थोऽपि तद्धर्मैरलिप्तो व्योमवन्मुनिः ।सर्वविन्मूढवत्तिष्ठेदसक्तो वायुवच्चरेत् ॥ ५२ ॥

In plain words

He lives inside a body, a mind, a set of conditions, and not one of their qualities stains him — like the sky, which holds everything passing through it and is marked by none of it. He knows all of it, and moves among people looking like someone who knows nothing at all. Attached nowhere, he goes as the wind goes.

Close to the Sanskrit

Though situated in the limiting adjunct, untainted by its properties, like the sky, the sage — knower of all — should remain like a dull person, and unattached, should move like the wind. [Manuscript variant to the preceding line: "like a lamp, always within only."]
