In plain words
Intellect and breath take their likeness from the Self, and so the Self seems to come within reach of the eye and the other senses, the way a shadow does. That is why scripture says, 'he as though thinks.' In himself he is pure; in himself he is free.
Close to the Sanskrit
The Self, which intellect and vital breath imitate, is like a shadow an object of the eye and the other senses; and thus it is said, 'he as though thinks' — for he is in himself pure and free.
