असत्स्वरूपं करणं जडं निरवलम्बनम् ।
निःस्पन्दनं न स्यन्देत कर्तृसंबोधनं विना ॥ ५९ ॥

asatsvarūpaṃ karaṇaṃ jaḍaṃ niravalambanam |
niḥspandanaṃ na syandeta kartṛsaṃbodhanaṃ vinā || 59 ||

The mind being an unreal instrumentality (as the sight &c.), can have no existence without its support (as the eyes of the sight); nor can it have any action of its own, without the agency of an actor (as the sword of the swordsman). Hence it is false to attribute activity or sensibility to it.
