In plain words
A flame lights up everything around it and never once lights up itself. It is the same here: even where difference is granted, the knower is one and the same throughout — and so the knower never sees the Self, never sees it at all.
Close to the Sanskrit
Just as, even in the illuminating-state of a light, there is no illuminating of itself — thus too, even in difference, because of sameness, the knower does not at all see the Self.
