Verse 6.67.19

चित्तेति परमात्मा न परमात्मा न वा न किम् ।
जीवदेहादिनाम्नोऽस्य प्रतिबिम्बादिवार्हता ॥ १९ ॥

citteti paramātmā na paramātmā na vā na kim |
jīvadehādināmno'sya pratibimbādivārhatā || 19 ||

The mind also is the supreme soul, and if it is not so it is nothing; the living and embodied is likewise a designation of the same, likening to the shadow of the substance.
