Verse 5.67.39

चेतसा कृतमाप्नोषि चेतसा न कृतं तु न ।
न क्वचित्कारणे देहो न च चित्तेन कर्तृता ॥ ३९ ॥

cetasā kṛtamāpnoṣi cetasā na kṛtaṃ tu na |
na kvacitkāraṇe deho na ca cittena kartṛtā || 39 ||

Man gets the retribution of his actions done with his mind; and not of those that pass beyond his knowledge. The inert body is never the cause of an action, nor the mind is ever joined with the living body, as an automaton or self moving machine, or like a clock or watch, the spring of whose action lies in itself. But the body requires the action of the mind, to put that animal force into motion).
