Verse 5.50.80

ग्रन्थीकृतं कर्मभिरात्मसृष्टेर्मन्त्रैरभेद्यं ज्वलनैरदग्धम् ।
पीडां परामात्मनि कल्पयन्तं समस्तजात्यन्तरदीर्घदाम ॥ ८० ॥

granthīkṛtaṃ karmabhirātmasṛṣṭermantrairabhedyaṃ jvalanairadagdham |
pīḍāṃ parāmātmani kalpayantaṃ samastajātyantaradīrghadāma || 80 ||

The mind is as a long rope, that binds mankind to their incessant acts. It is impossible to break or burn its knots in any other way except by means of one's self-knowledge. Its bond of transmigration is painful to all, until they obtain their final emancipation.
