they wander.
Persons who identify with this body, which is simply the product of the material mind, are blinded in their intelligence, thinking in terms of “I” and “mine.” Because of their illusion of “this is I, but that is someone else,” they wander in endless darkness.

Translation
Persons who identify with this body, which is simply the product of the material mind, are blinded in their intelligence, thinking in terms of “I” and “mine.” Because of their illusion of “This is me, but that is someone else,” they wander in endless samsāra.
In this way they wander in saṁsāra. Accepting the body produced by the mind, they think “This is my body and this is my son.” They wander in saṁsāra (tamasi).
