In plain words
'This is real,' 'No, it is false'; 'This is consciousness,' 'No, it is inert'; 'It is sorrow,' 'No, it is happiness': such dispute is in vain. The abiding in which no world is seen and no sense of 'I' remains, beyond every alternative, is supreme, and it is what everyone desires.
Word for word
'Real or false; this is consciousness or inert; sorrow or happiness': so runs the dispute, in vain. The abiding in which no world is seen, without the sense of 'I', free of every alternative, is supreme, wished for by all.
