How to read these English letters (IAST)

Our explanation Krishna says that when a person sees the separate existence of beings as resting in the One, and their spreading out as coming from it, then that person attains Brahman.

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि जब व्यक्ति प्राणियों के अलग-अलग अस्तित्व को एक में स्थित देखता है, और उनके विस्तार को उसी से होता देखता है, तब वह ब्रह्म को प्राप्त होता है।
