manaḥ sṛjati vai dehānguṇān karmāṇi cātmanaḥtan manaḥ sṛjate māyātato jīvasya saṁsṛtiḥ

Translation:

The material bodies, qualities and activities of the spirit soul are created by the material mind. That mind is itself created by the illusory potency of the Supreme Lord, and thus the soul assumes material existence.
