मुक्ताभिमानी मुक्तो हि बद्धो बद्धाभिमान्यपि, किंवदन्तीह सत्येयं या मतिः सा गतिर्भवेत्। ॥11॥

muktābhimānī mukto hi baddho baddhābhimānyapi, kiṁvadantīha satyeyaṁ yā matiḥ sā gatirbhavet. (11)

This verse teaches that our thoughts shape our reality; if we believe we are free, we will experience freedom, but if we see ourselves as trapped, we will feel that way. Essentially, our mindset influences our life experiences.
