Srimad  | HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE | | Bhagavadgita Verse of the Week: Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Bhagavad-gita As It Is 2.67
indriyāṇāḿ hi caratāḿ
yan mano 'nuvidhīyate
tad asya harati prajñāḿ
vāyur nāvam ivāmbhasi
SYNONYMS
indriyāṇām - of the senses; hi - certainly; caratām - while roaming; yat - with which; manaḥ - the mind; anuvidhīyate - becomes constantly engaged; tat - that; asya - his; harati - takes away; prajñām - intelligence; vāyuḥ - wind; nāvam - a boat; iva - like; ambhasi - on the water.
TRANSLATION
As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence.
PURPORT
Unless all of the senses are engaged in the service of the Lord, even one of them engaged in sense gratification can deviate the devotee from the path of transcendental advancement. As mentioned in the life of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, all of the senses must be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for that is the correct technique for controlling the mind.
