This body means combination of senses, but above the senses there is the mind. If the mind is disturbed, the senses cannot act. If the mind is in disorder, then the man is called mad, because he cannot use his senses properly. He cannot think properly, he cannot feel properly, neither he can act properly.

<div class="quote_verse">
:...puṁsāṁ paro dharmo
:yato bhaktir adhokṣaje
:ahaituky apratihatā
:yayātmā suprasīdati
:([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])

Yayātmā suprasīdati, or samprasīdati. Samprasīdati means samyak, fully satisfied, prasīdati. Everyone is searching after peace and tranquillity of the mind. Mind's nature...

(aside:) Why you are standing?

Mind..., mind's nature is very flickering. This accepting something and rejecting something—that is mind: saṅkalpa, vikalpa, the exact word in Sanskrit. I decide to do something, but next moment I reject it. Therefore mind is not in peace, and we are trying to be satisfied in so many ways. At last, in human form of life, we take to religious principles of life.

In the animal society there is no question of religiosity, but in the human form of life, especially civilized human society... Every society has got some form of religious principles. It doesn't matter whether it is Hinduism, Muhammadanism, Sikhism or Jewism, Christianism—there is some form of religious principles.

Everything is attempted for satisfying the yoga principles also. Yoga indriya-saṁyamaḥ—by controlling the mind. Mind is also indriya, the principal sense. We have got senses, and mind is the center of all senses, indriyāṇi parāṇy āhur ([[Vanisource:BG 3.42|BG 3.42]]).

This body means combination of senses, but above the senses there is the mind. If the mind is disturbed, the senses cannot act. If the mind is in disorder, then the man is called mad, because he cannot use his senses properly. He cannot think properly, he cannot feel properly, neither he can act properly.
