Verse 3.89.50

एतानि चात्र मनसां न च कारणानि राजञ्शरीरशकलानि वृथोत्थितानि ।
चेतो हि कारणममीषु शरीरकेषु वारीव सर्ववनखण्डलतारसेषु ॥ ५० ॥

etāni cātra manasāṃ na ca kāraṇāni rājañśarīraśakalāni vṛthotthitāni |
ceto hi kāraṇamamīṣu śarīrakeṣu vārīva sarvavanakhaṇḍalatāraseṣu || 50 ||

Know it for certain, O King, that neither these bodies about us, nor these bodies and sensations of ours are realities. They are but shows of truth, and not the movers of the mind: but on the contrary, it is the mind which supplies the bodies, and senses with their powers of action; as the water supplies the trees and branches with their vegetative juice.
