जीवः संकल्पमात्रात्मा यत्संकल्पोऽवतिष्ठते ।
हृदि भूत्वा स एवाशु बहिः प्रसरति स्फुटम् ॥ ३७ ॥

jīvaḥ saṃkalpamātrātmā yatsaṃkalpo'vatiṣṭhate |
hṛdi bhūtvā sa evāśu bahiḥ prasarati sphuṭam || 37 ||

The living soul is composed of its desires only, and consists of and subsists under its hearty wishes alone, the same soon come out of themselves from within the heart, and appear on the outside in the outward conduct of the person.
