Verse 3.95.38

चित्तं सदा स्पन्दविलासमेत्य स्पन्दैकरूपं ननु कर्मविद्धि ।
कर्माथ चित्तं किल धर्मकर्मपदं गते राम परस्परेण ॥ ३८ ॥

cittaṃ sadā spandavilāsametya spandaikarūpaṃ nanu karmaviddhi |
karmātha cittaṃ kila dharmakarmapadaṃ gate rāma paraspareṇa || 38 ||

The mind being ever restless in itself, becomes identified with the actions proceeding from its activity. The actions also whether good or bad, become identified with the mind, which feels their just rewards and punishments. Hence you see Rama! The inseparable connection of the mind and acts, in reciprocating their actions and reactions upon each other.
