Verse 3.96.12

मनो यदनुसंधत्ते तत्कर्मेन्द्रियवृत्तयः ।
सर्वाः संपादयन्त्येतास्तस्मात्कर्म मनः स्मृतम् ॥ १२ ॥

mano yadanusaṃdhatte tatkarmendriyavṛttayaḥ |
sarvāḥ saṃpādayantyetāstasmātkarma manaḥ smṛtam || 12 ||

Whatever is determined by the mind, is readily brought into performance by the external organs of action (Karmendriya); thus because the mind is the cause of action, it is identified with the effect.
