In plain words
Suffering is an object perceived by the mind's states, and those states are witnessed by the Self; how could the inner seer, the pure consciousness, ever be touched by sorrow?
Close to the Sanskrit
Sorrow is the object of mental modifications, and those are regarded as objects of the inward Self. How could this Self, whose nature is seeing, have a connection with sorrow?
