In plain words

Muddy water looks murky, but once the mud settles, the same water turns perfectly clear. It's just like that with the Self: once the flaw of confusion is gone, the Self shines out in its own natural clarity.

Close to the Sanskrit

Water containing mud is unclear; when the mud departs, the water shines clear. So too the Self, in the absence of the defect, shines with clear radiance.
