Translation

Whatever is experienced by someone, all such (which is seen) will have him as the witness. It is illogical to call a person a witness in a thing which he has not experienced.

Annotation

It was said by the student (verse 212) that he was unable to see anything other than non–existence, implying that he is a witness to such non–existence. As the witness to such non–existence you are that Self, says the teacher. We do not call a person a witness for a thing which is not experienced by him (Jagadguru).
