श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
मनो हि भावनामात्रं भावना स्पन्दधर्मिणी ।
क्रिया तद्भावितारूपं फलं सर्वोऽनुधावति ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
mano hi bhāvanāmātraṃ bhāvanā spandadharmiṇī |
kriyā tadbhāvitārūpaṃ phalaṃ sarvo'nudhāvati || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—The mind is mere thought, and thought is the mind in motion (literally, having the property of fluctuation). Its actions are directed by the nature of the thoughts (lit. according to the nature of the objects of thought); and the result of the acts is felt by every body in his mind.
