मनो जगति भूतानां द्वे शरीरेऽत्र सर्वगम् ।
मन एव शरीरं हि येनेदं भाव्यते जगत् ॥ १८ ॥

mano jagati bhūtānāṃ dve śarīre'tra sarvagam |
mana eva śarīraṃ hi yenedaṃ bhāvyate jagat || 18 ||

Of the two bodies of men, the mind alone is ubiquitous, and leader of the outer body of animated beings. The mind therefore is the true body, which reflects and makes us conscious of the existence of ourselves, as also of the exterior world.
