रजस्तमोदोषवतोऽविवेकिनो
जन्मादिदुःखस्य निदानमेतत् ॥ १७ ॥ 179. Man's transmigration is due to the evil of superimposition, and the bondage of superimposition is created by the mind alone. It is this that causes the misery of birth, etc., for the man of non-discrimination who is tainted by Rajas and Tamas.
["Superimposition–This is the favourite theme of the Vedanta philosophy, to explain how the ever-free Self came to be bound at all. The whole thing is a mistaken identity, a self-hypnotism, it says, and the way out of it lies in de-hypnotising ourselves. ]

येनैव भ्राम्यते विश्वं वायुनेवाभ्रमण्डलम् ॥ १८०॥
180. Hence sages who have fathomed its secret have designated the mind as Avidyâ or Ignorance, by which alone the universe is moved to and fro, like masses of clouds by the wind.
तन्मनःशोधनं कार्य प्रयत्नेन मुमुक्षुणा । विशुद्ध सति चैतस्मिन्मुक्तिः करफलायते ॥ १८१॥
181. Therefore the seeker after Liberation must carefully purify the mind. When this is purified, Liberation is as easy of access as a fruit on the palm of one's hand.
