। ॥ ८६ ॥
In plain words
Wanting to know the Self while still absorbed in pampering the body is like wanting to swim across a river by grabbing hold of a crocodile you have mistaken for a log.
Close to the Sanskrit
He who, being intent on nourishing the body, desires to realize the Self — he wishes to cross a river, holding a crocodile under the notion that it is a log.
