जडाजडं मनो विद्धि संकल्पात्म बृहद्वपुः ।
अजडं ब्रह्मरूपत्वाज्जडं दृश्यात्मतावशात् ॥ ३१ ॥

jaḍājaḍaṃ mano viddhi saṃkalpātma bṛhadvapuḥ |
ajaḍaṃ brahmarūpatvājjaḍaṃ dṛśyātmatāvaśāt || 31 ||

Know the mind to both active and inert (i. e. both as spirit and matter). It is vast owing to the vastness of its desires, and is lively on account of its spiritual nature of the great God; but becomes inert by its incorporation with material objects.
