Verse 3.103.19

चित्तं जगन्ति भुवनानि वनान्तराणि संलक्ष्यते स्वयमुपागतमात्मभेदैः ।
केयूरमौलिकटकैश्च लसत्स्वरूपं त्यक्त्वैव काञ्चनधियेव जनेन हेम ॥ १९ ॥

cittaṃ jaganti bhuvanāni vanāntarāṇi saṃlakṣyate svayamupāgatamātmabhedaiḥ |
keyūramaulikaṭakaiśca lasatsvarūpaṃ tyaktvaiva kāñcanadhiyeva janena hema || 19 ||

The mind alone is perceived to be in existence in the world; and its representations of the forests and all other things are but variations of itself! So the thinking man sees the substance of gold only, in all its various formations of bangles and bracelets, which are taken for naught.
