आश्चर्यवत्पश्यति कश्िचदेन माश्चर्यवद्वदति तथैव चान्यः ।
आश्चर्यवच्चैनमन्यः श्रृणोति श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्िचत् ।।

āścaryavatpaśyati kaśicadena māścaryavadvadati tathaiva cānyaḥ ।
āścaryavaccainamanyaḥ śrṛṇoti śrutvāpyenaṃ veda na caiva kaśicat ।।
कश्िचत् - Who is ever-seeing, एनं - this Atma, आश्चर्यवत् - great miracle, प​श्यति - sees, तथा एव​ - likewise, अन्य​: च​ - another one, आश्चर्यवत् वदति - speaks about this great miracle,
अन्य​: च - another one, एनं - this Atma, आश्चर्यवत् श्रुणोति - listens about this great miracle, कश्िचत् श्रुत्वा अपि - even after listening, एनं - this Atma,
न वेद​ - doesn’t know about it

jivAtma that is completely different from regular elements of this universe, that is undecaying & eternal will be experienced by only one in a million persons, that too by the result of his great accumulated punyas..
That great person who has 'seen/experienced' the Atma will explain it to another equally blessed person.

The caveat here is, just by listening/speaking about Atma doesn't automatically let the person 'see/experience' It.

Such guru/sishyas are very rare to come across!!

One 'sees' the Atma in wonder. Another 'one' speaks about It in wonder. Someone else listens to this wonder..

Even though everyone see, speak & listen about Atma in absolute wonder, nobody (rare exceptions aside) has actually 'experienced' It's true nature !!

A mukti-yogi sees Ishwara as 'Ishwara' in wonder.

To better explain, the following verse is cited..

'gaganam gaganAkAram' - Sky is, well it just looks like a Sky!!!.. There are no other words to explain/compare it with, no?
Another person describes this 'Ishwara' as if he has just seen Him fully!!

'sAgaram sAgarOpamam' - The oceans are, well just ocean-like!
Another person listens to 'Ishwara' as if he has just listened Him

'rAma rAvanayo: yuddham rAma rAvanayo: iva' - The battle of Rama & Ravana, is well just that!!

Another person who even after seeing/speaking/listening about Ishwara, doesn't know about His miraculous svarupa!
