In plain words
Encompassing and clothing themselves in all the quarters of space, both sustain the earth and the heavens. One of them—the individual soul—failing to realize its true nature as the non-dual Brahman of pure existence, consciousness, and bliss, and identifying itself with the non-self such as the body, bears the burden of the material earth, experiencing a body of pleasure and pain shaped by past karma. The other sustains the luminous realm of heaven as its own true Self. As the scripture declares: 'Two birds, inseparable companions, cling to the same tree. One eats the sweet fruit, while the other looks on without eating.' He who, through his own wondrous power, projects himself into countless forms ranging from prana downward, and enters within to witness all—that blessed Lord is beheld by yogis alone.
Close to the Sanskrit
Wearing all directions, covering them, both sustain earth and heaven. One jiva, not having understood the true nature of the Self as non-dual consciousness-existence-bliss Brahman, having attained the notion of self in the non-self like the body, sustains the earth—characterized by elements and their products, conforming to the fruit of karma, the body and the rest consisting of pleasure and pain. The other sustains heaven, having the nature of illumination, the form of his own Self. And it is heard: 'Two birds, closely united companions, have embraced the same tree. Of these two, one eats the sweet fig fruit, the other looks on without eating.' Who, by his own Maya, having made himself into endless divisions like prana, having entered within, abides seeing fully—that blessed Lord yogis alone see.
