Meaning
The teaching becomes direct. The commentary: Rāma, action, form, taste, smell, sound, touch and awareness, which you know: their essence is that awareness; and that by which you know them is he as well. The known and the knower are both he. Nothing is left over that could be a separate world, or a separate knower of it.
