Verse 3.96.6

कल्पनात्मिकया कर्मशक्त्या विरहितं मनः ।
न संभवति लोकेऽस्मिन्गुणहीनो गुणी यथा ॥ ६ ॥

kalpanātmikayā karmaśaktyā virahitaṃ manaḥ |
na saṃbhavati loke'sminguṇahīno guṇī yathā || 6 ||

The mind is of the nature of imagination (Kalpana), which is ever busy in its operations:hence the inactivity of the mind is as impossible in this world, as the insapience of the sapient man.
