Verse 3.67.6

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
स्पन्दास्पन्दस्वभावं हि चिन्मात्रमिह विद्यते ।
खे वात इव तत्स्पन्दात्सोल्लासं शान्तमन्यथा ॥ ६ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
spandāspandasvabhāvaṃ hi cinmātramiha vidyate |
khe vāta iva tatspandātsollāsaṃ śāntamanyathā || 6 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The intellect (chit) is possest of its own nature of the properties of oscillation and rest, like the vacillation and stillness of the winds in the air. Its agitation is the cause of its action, otherwise it is calm and quiet as a dead lock—quietus itself.
