यावन्न कुर्वन्नपि व्यवहरन्नप्यसत्येषु संसारवस्तुषु
स्थितोऽपि स्वात्मन्येव क्षीणमनस्त्वादभ्यासवशाद्बाह्यं वस्तु
कुर्वन्नपि न पश्यति नालम्बनेन सेवते नाभिध्यायति
तनुवासनत्वाच्च केवलं मूढः सुप्तप्रबुद्ध इव कर्तव्यं करोति ॥ ११ ॥

11. yāvan na kurvan api vyavaharan api asatyeṣu saṃsāravastuṣu sthitaḥ

kurvan api na paśyati na ālambanena sevate na abhidhyāyati

11. yāvan saḥ (implied) asatyeṣu saṃsāravastuṣu kurvan api vyavaharan api (internally) na (truly acts/engages) sthitaḥ api svātmani eva; tataḥ (then) kṣīṇamanastvāt abhyāsavaśāt ca tanuvāsanatvāt,
bāhyam vastu kurvan api na paśyati,
na ālambanena sevate,
na abhidhyāyati.
kevalam mūḍhaḥ suptaprabuddhaḥ iva kartavyam karoti.

11. Inasmuch as, even while externally performing actions and engaging with the unreal objects of the world (saṃsāra), he is (internally) not truly doing so, being established solely in his own self (ātman); then, due to his mind being attenuated by the power of practice, and due to the subtlety of his latent impressions (vāsanā), he does not truly perceive external objects even while performing actions, nor does he rely on them as a support, nor does he desire them. He merely performs his duties like an apparently ignorant person who has just woken up from sleep.
