US-P18.008ab कर्ता भोक्तेति यच्छास्त्रं लोकबुद्ड्यनुवादि तत् ।US-P18.008cd सदस्मीति श्रुतेर्जाता बाध्यतेऽनित्यैतयैव धीः ॥

In plain words

When scripture speaks of the self as a doer and an enjoyer, it is simply echoing our everyday worldly perspective. The notion of being an agent is completely dissolved by the direct realization born of the teaching 'I am the real.'

Close to the Sanskrit

That scriptural statement which says 'the doer, the enjoyer' is merely an accommodation of worldly understanding. By the cognition born from the scripture’s 'I am existent,' this transient cognition of agency is sublated.
