In plain words
One who longs for liberation and seeks the state of Brahman must renounce all else. For such a seeker, ritual action may remain, yet listening to the truth stands forth as the true means.
Close to the Sanskrit
By the one desiring liberation, desiring the state of Brahman, [it is] to be completely abandoned. For the seeker of liberation also, let action be, [while] listening also [is] the means.
