In plain words

The world does not vanish into absolute nothingness; it persists in its own true nature. Just as a banyan tree exists at one time as a seed and at another as a sprout, shifting between cause and effect, so too does this universe endure.

Close to the Sanskrit

It truly persists in its own form; the world does not become a void. Just as the banyan tree exists sometimes in the form of a sprout, sometimes as a seed, in the form of cause and effect, so does this.
