tanna kṛtaṃ bhavati ato mana eva kartṛ na dehaḥ 7

7. manaḥ yat karoti tat kṛtam bhavati yat na karoti
tat na kṛtam bhavati ataḥ manaḥ eva kartṛ na dehaḥ

7. yat manaḥ karoti tat kṛtam bhavati,
yat na karoti tat na kṛtam bhavati.
ataḥ manaḥ eva kartṛ,
na dehaḥ.

7. Whatever the mind (manas) does, that is accomplished. Whatever it does not do, that is not accomplished. Therefore, the mind (manas) itself is the doer, not the body.
