English Translation

This (Self) cannot be well understood when taught by a man of small estate. When it is taught by one who is not other (than the Self), there is no going wrong about it. It is subtler than the subtle, and cannot be argued about.

English Translation

This Self is not well understood when taught by a lesser person. There is no error when it is taught by one who has become the Self. It is subtler than the subtle, beyond all argument.
