Verse 4.40.32

वह्नेः शिखेव जातेयं शिखेति मनसोऽभिधा ।
चापलोत्थविकल्पश्रीर्वस्तुतः स्यान्न सिद्ध्यति ॥ ३२ ॥

vahneḥ śikheva jāteyaṃ śikheti manaso'bhidhā |
cāpalotthavikalpaśrīrvastutaḥ syānna siddhyati || 32 ||

The spirit rises as the flame of fire, and this flame is significant of the mind. Its tremor signifies the fluctuation of the mind, which in reality is not the case, there being no rise or fall of the Divine Mind.
