Verse 6.87.27

सवासनं मनो ज्ञेयं ज्ञानं निर्वासनं मनः ।
ज्ञानेन ज्ञेयमभ्येत्य पुनर्जीवो न जायते ॥ २७ ॥

savāsanaṃ mano jñeyaṃ jñānaṃ nirvāsanaṃ manaḥ |
jñānena jñeyamabhyetya punarjīvo na jāyate || 27 ||

But know the human mind to be fraught with desires, from which the learned few are only exempt; it is by their transcendental knowledge of the knowable one, that the Divinely wise alone are exempted from their regeneration in this mortal world.
