अविद्यमानचित्तस्त्वं सत्त्वसंस्कारमागतः ।
प्रवाहपतितेष्वेव स्पन्दस्व स्वेषु कर्मसु ॥ १० ॥

avidyamānacittastvaṃ sattvasaṃskāramāgataḥ |
pravāhapatiteṣveva spandasva sveṣu karmasu || 10 ||

Hence inappetency has become the congenial tendency of your mind, without its inclination to the gratification of its appetites. The leanings of men to particular pursuits, are directed by the current of their previous propensities. The predisposition of the mind, is said to be the cause of the formation of the character and fortune of a man in his present state, (which is otherwise said to be the result of his predestination) which runs as a stream in wonted course, and carries all men as straws floating along with its tide.
