Verse 7.18.38

या योदेति विकल्पश्रीरप्रबुद्धाशयं प्रति ।
सर्वगत्वादनन्तत्वाच्चिद्व्योम्नः सा न सन्मयी ॥ ३८ ॥

yā yodeti vikalpaśrīraprabuddhāśayaṃ prati |
sarvagatvādanantatvāccidvyomnaḥ sā na sanmayī || 38 ||

Whatever desires and fancies, rise in the minds of the unenlightened; are not of the nature of the positive will or decree of the Divine Mind, owing to the endless variety and mutuality of human wishes.
