Verse 6.56.17

रोध्यरोधकसंमोहं त्यक्त्वा खे विमलो भव ।
प्रवृत्तिरेव न व्योम्नः प्रवृत्तिश्चैव खात्मिका ॥ १७ ॥

rodhyarodhakasaṃmohaṃ tyaktvā khe vimalo bhava |
pravṛttireva na vyomnaḥ pravṛttiścaiva khātmikā || 17 ||

Drive away your false conception of the slayer and slain from your mind, and rest in the pure and bright sphere of the Divine spirit;because there is no stir or motion in the intellectual sphere of God, which is ever calm and quiet. All commotions appertain to the mental sphere, and the action of the restless mind.
