In plain words
Action grows from a single seed: the thought 'I'. It stands only as long as that thought stands. Once the fire of 'I am not this' has burnt it through, how could it sprout?
Close to the Sanskrit
That action which has the notion 'I' for its seed, which stands in dependence on the notion 'I' — burnt by the fire of the notion 'I am not' — how does it sprout?
