I think i tried as well as i could.
To rephrase: Purushhottama is a non doer, non thinker -- no karma taints Him. Yet He is the thinker and doer everywhere. But for us who begin with the premise that Purusha is the male man with two legs and two arms (the male body), the spiritual connotation of Purusha -- that which is the whole before the light -- is missed.

That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
