In plain words

Rāhu has no face you can see, and still you catch him on the moon. A reflection has no place of its own, and still you find it in water. Just so with the ātman: it is everywhere, and it is caught in the intellect alone.

Close to the Sanskrit

Just as Rāhu, though invisible, is grasped in the moon, and just as a reflection is grasped in water — exactly so, though all-pervading, that Self is grasped in the intellect alone.
