In plain words
A word can land on the I-notion, because the I-notion has a class, an action, and all the rest. In your own Self none of that is there — so not a single word reaches it.
Close to the Sanskrit
For because of possessing class, action, and the rest, a word does operate in that — in the I-notion; but no word whatsoever operates in one's own Self, because of the absence of those.
