। ॥ ५५२ ॥

In plain words

Carried along by latent tendencies shaped by past actions already bearing fruit, this liberated one still moves through the world's experiences, looking for all the world like anyone else caught in samsara. But in himself he is already complete - he simply dwells here in silence, watching, untouched by any mental back-and-forth, like the still hub at the center of a turning wheel.

Driven by the latent tendencies shaped by prarabdha-karma, the liberated-while-embodied one moves through experiences like one still in samsara; [but] himself accomplished, he dwells here silently, like a witness, free of all mental construction - like the still hub of a [turning] wheel.
