US-P12.001ab ।US-P12.001cd ॥
In plain words
Stand a body in lamplight and you take the body itself to be shining. In the same way the mind, holding the reflected light of the seer, thinks: I am the one who sees.
Close to the Sanskrit
Just as one presumes the body standing in light to be itself possessed of light, so the mind, which holds the reflection of the seer, thinks: 'I am the seer.'
