In plain words
Since the Self has no sound or sensory attributes, it cannot be grasped by the senses. And since it is entirely distinct from mental states like happiness and sorrow, how could the intellect ever reach it?
Close to the Sanskrit
Because of being devoid of sound and other qualities, apprehension of this [Self] by the senses does not take place; and similarly, being other than happiness and the like, how can [it be apprehended] even by the intellect?
