। ॥ ५४९ ॥
In plain words
In just the same way, fools look at the greatest knower of Brahman - who is in truth entirely free of every bond tied to the body - and see only an ordinary embodied person. They are fooled by the mere appearance of a body, nothing more.
Close to the Sanskrit
Likewise, the deluded see the best knower of Brahman - who is [in truth] utterly free from the bonds of body and the rest - as if he were an embodied being, merely from seeing the appearance of a body.
