Meaning
The commentary: between true and false imaginings, to give up the imagining that cuts awareness into "you" and "I" is hard; but if it is given up, what remains among those imaginings is the real thing itself, pure being, for then no one is left to divide. Rāma, when the impressions, karma and the rest that cause the state of a jīva are given up, give up "you" and "I". What is left between real and unreal will be real.
