Karika 27
उभयात्मकमत्र मनः सङ्कल्पकमिन्द्रियं च साधर्म्यात्। गुणपरिणामविशेषान्नानात्वं बाह्यभेदाश्च ॥२७॥
Both the nature exists in the mind (to sense and to act), hence it is the Indriya of determination (saṅkalpakam indriyaṁ). Special effects of qualities (satwa, rajas, tamas) as per their dharma results in many fold variations, as well as differences in the external appearance.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
