An unintelligent man, failing to distinguish himself from material nature, thinks nature to be real. By contact with it he becomes completely bewildered and enters into the cycle of material existence.
Purport
A similar verse is found in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.7.5) :
yayā sammohito jīva ātmānaṁ tri-guṇātmakam paro ’pi manute ’narthaṁ tat-kṛtaṁ cābhipadyate
“Due to this external energy, the living entity, although transcendental to the three modes of material nature, thinks of himself as a material product and thus undergoes the reactions of material miseries.”
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Translation
An unintelligent man, failing to distinguish himself in truth from the body made of prakṛti, by contact with it becomes absorbed in sense objects and enters into the cycle of material existence.
The person lacking discrimination enters saṁsāra. Failing to distinguish himself from the covering of prakṛti, absorbed in sense objects, he enters saṁsāra.
