Verse 6.9.32

अकर्तुरेव हि तथा कर्तृता तस्य कथ्यते ।
मणिसंनिधिमात्रेण यथायः स्पन्दते जडम ।
तत्सत्तया तथैवायं देहश्चेतत्यचिद्वपुः ॥ ३२ ॥

akartureva hi tathā kartṛtā tasya kathyate |
maṇisaṃnidhimātreṇa yathāyaḥ spandate jaḍama |
tatsattayā tathaivāyaṃ dehaścetatyacidvapuḥ || 32 ||

The action of the inactive or quiescent spirit of God, is to be understood in the same manner, as the motion of the lead is attributed to the causality of magnetic attraction, which moves the immovable iron. So the inert bodies of living beings, are moved by force of the intellectual soul.
