। ॥ १९७ ॥
In plain words
Apart from delusion, the Self — untouched, unmoving, without any form — could never truly be connected to anything at all. It's exactly like the sky: the sky never actually turns blue, that blueness is only how it looks.
Close to the Sanskrit
But without delusion, no real relation with objects could arise for the unattached, actionless, formless [Self] — just as [there is no real] blueness etc. of the sky.
