In plain words
The intellect is only a reflection of consciousness; the Self has that consciousness for its very nature. Grant this, and it holds good that the Veda teaches the Self with words like knowing and awareness.
Close to the Sanskrit
If there should be, for the intellect, the state of being an appearance of consciousness, and for the Self, the state of having that very consciousness as its own nature — then that the Veda teaches It by words for knowledge is fitting.
