देशाद्देशान्तरप्राप्तौ यन्मध्ये संविदो वपुः ।
स्वस्वभावो हि भूतानां तत्पदं परमात्मकम् ॥ १६ ॥

deśāddeśāntaraprāptau yanmadhye saṃvido vapuḥ |
svasvabhāvo hi bhūtānāṃ tatpadaṃ paramātmakam || 16 ||

As the mind is unoccupied with any object, in the interim of one's journey from one place to another; so the minds of all livings beings, are naturally unoccupied with any preconceived idea; and this blankness is the true state of the intellect.
