Verse 6.78.18

आबालमेतत्संसिद्धं मतौ चैवानुभूयते ।
कर्मेन्द्रियगणश्चास्मादभिन्नावयवात्मकः ॥ १८ ॥

ābālametatsaṃsiddhaṃ matau caivānubhūyate |
karmendriyagaṇaścāsmādabhinnāvayavātmakaḥ || 18 ||

The error then rises in the mind and grows from boyhood to old age, to think one's self as lean or fat as if he were the very body. Again it is usual to say I act, I see &c., as if the personality of one consists in his action; but the acts of the bodily organs, being related with the body, are as insensible and impersonal as the dull body itself.
