अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥

ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṃ pravartateiti matvā bhajante māṃ budhā bhāvasamanvitāḥ

I am the birth of everything and from Me all proceeds into development of action and movement; understanding thus, the wise adore Me in rapt emotion.

It is at first a wisdom of the intelligence, the buddhi; but that is accompanied by a moved spiritualised state of the affective nature, bhāva. This change of the heart and mind is the beginning of a total change of all the nature.
