Verse 7.28.29

द्वित्वं नृकर्मणोर्यस्य बीजाङ्कुरतया तयोः ।
विपश्चित्पशवे तस्मै महतेऽस्तु सदा नमः ॥ २९ ॥

dvitvaṃ nṛkarmaṇoryasya bījāṅkuratayā tayoḥ |
vipaścitpaśave tasmai mahate'stu sadā namaḥ || 29 ||

It is the inherent consciousness of the ever existent soul, which is both the prime seed as well as the first germ of the world; the same is the source both of action as also of its cause and effect of the person of man. It is that which is designated as destiny and the weal and woe of all.
