In plain words
So the intellect's thoughts, lit by the reflected glow of the Self, look like the ones doing the knowing — the way a burning stick looks like the thing that burns.
Close to the Sanskrit
But the cognitions of the intellect, therefore, being lit up by the reflection of the Self, appear as if they were knowers, just as firebrands and the like appear to burn.
