या एताः संविदो ब्राह्म्यो मननैककलङ्किताः ।
एतत्तत्कर्मणां बीजमप्यकर्मैव विद्धि ताः ॥ ४ ॥

yā etāḥ saṃvido brāhmyo mananaikakalaṅkitāḥ |
etattatkarmaṇāṃ bījamapyakarmaiva viddhi tāḥ || 4 ||

Our consciousness of ourselves as Brahma, being vitiated by the various thoughts in our minds, becomes the root of our activities; while the pure consciousness of ego sum—I am, is free from all actions and energies.
