9.13
महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः
The Mahatmas have purified their minds through self-control and devotion. They reside in the sattvic state of mind, which makes them fit for spiritual wisdom. They see Brahman as the beginningless cause of all, and direct their attention to Him alone.
