suṣuptavaj jāgrati yo na paśyati dvayam tu paśyann api cādvayatvataḥ tathā ca kurvann api niṣkriyaś ca yaḥ sa ātma-vin nānya itīha niścayaḥ
[13] He who, though seeing duality when awake, yet on account of his awareness of non-duality does not see it as if he were asleep, and who is apparently active yet really actionless for the same reason—he alone is a knower of the Self. Such is the settled conclusion of our tradition. ~Alston
13. It is the conclusion here (in the Vedântas) that one who, though perceiving16the world of duality in the waking state, does not,17like a man in deep sleep,18 perceive it owing to duality being negated, and who is (really) actionless even when (apparently) acting, is a man of Self-knowledge ; but no one else is so. ~Jagadananda
13. He who, in the waking state, like a man in the state ofdeep sleep, does not see duality, though [actually] seeing, because of his non-duality, and similarly he who, though [in fact] acting, is actionless—he [only]is the knower ofAtman, and nobody else. This is the firm conclusion here [in the Vedanta]. ~Mayeda
My Transcreation:
As in deep sleep while in the waking state is the one who doesn't see duality
while seeing through it to that nonduality.
Similarly is the one performing actions although actionless.
One is the knower of the Self and no other is the conclusion here.
