4.45

On the Śāstra's statement, "Volition means causing the mind to engage in activity": the Nyāyānusāra says: "Causing the mind to engage in activity that is wholesome, unwholesome, or unspecified, bringing about an excellent, inferior, or middling nature, is called volition. Because volition exists, it causes the mind to have active functioning toward objects, just as the power of a lodestone is able to make iron move."
