Verse 5.13.87

स्पन्दः प्राणमरुच्छक्तिश्चलद्रूपैव सा जडा ।
चिच्छक्तिः स्वात्मनः स्वच्छा सर्वदा सर्वगैव सा ॥ ८७ ॥

spandaḥ prāṇamarucchaktiścaladrūpaiva sā jaḍā |
cicchaktiḥ svātmanaḥ svacchā sarvadā sarvagaiva sā || 87 ||

The breath of life is inert by itself, and its pulsation is the effect and composed of the surrounding air; so the action of the mind, is owing to the force of the intellect; whose pellucidity pervades all nature.
