Verse 7.163.7

संविदं संविदाकाशे संरोप्य हृदि तिष्ठतः ।
स्वयमेव मनः शाम्येन्नीहार इव शारदः ॥ ७ ॥

saṃvidaṃ saṃvidākāśe saṃropya hṛdi tiṣṭhataḥ |
svayameva manaḥ śāmyennīhāra iva śāradaḥ || 7 ||

In order therefore to subdue your mind], you must settle your self-consciousness in your consciousness of the omnipresent vacuum of the Divine soul, and rest yourself quiet in the recess of your heart; and then your mind will sit quiet of itself, as the snows of winter settle down of themselves in autumn.
