Verse 4.20.9

अभिपतति मनःस्थितं शरीरं नतु वपुराचरितं मनः प्रयाति ।
अभिपततु तवात्र तेन सत्यं सुभग मनः प्रजहात्वसत्यमन्यत् ॥ ९ ॥

abhipatati manaḥsthitaṃ śarīraṃ natu vapurācaritaṃ manaḥ prayāti |
abhipatatu tavātra tena satyaṃ subhaga manaḥ prajahātvasatyamanyat || 9 ||

Hence whatever is seated in the mind, the same comes to pass on the body; but what is done by the body never affects the mind. Therefore, O fortunate Rama! apply your mind to truth, and shun whatever is untrue.
