SB 10.46.41
yatha bhramarika-drstya
 bhramyativa mahiyate
citte kartari tatratma
 kartevaham-dhiya smrtah

Translation:
Just as a person who is whirling around perceives the ground to be turning, one who is affected by false ego thinks himself the doer, when actually only his mind is acting.

Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti gives a parallel idea: Although our happiness and distress are caused by our own interaction with the material qualities, we perceive the Lord to be their cause.
