Verse 3.84.37

चित्तं साध्यं पालनीयं विचार्यं कार्यमार्यवत् ।
आहार्यं व्यवहार्यं च संचार्यं धार्यमादरात् ॥ ३७ ॥

cittaṃ sādhyaṃ pālanīyaṃ vicāryaṃ kāryamāryavat |
āhāryaṃ vyavahāryaṃ ca saṃcāryaṃ dhāryamādarāt || 37 ||

The mind is the means to accomplish anything; it is the store-keeper to preserve all things in the store-house of its memory; it is the faculty of reasoning; and the power to act like a respectable person. It is therefore to be treated with respect, in recalling, restraining and guiding us to our pursuits and duties.
