| | Prabhupāda: Yes. This mind . . . they're talking of the mind. The whole ''yoga'' system means to make the mind our friend. The mind in material contact . . . just like a person in drunkard condition, his mind is (indistinct). There is a nice verse in ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'': |
| | |
| | :''kṛṣṇa-bhuliya jiva bhoga vāñchā kare'' |
| | :''pasate māyā tāre jāpaṭiyā dhare'' |

| Prabhupāda: Yes. This mind, they're talking of the mind. The whole yoga system means to make the mind our friend. The mind, in material contact… Just like a person in drunkard condition, his mind is the enemy. There is a nice verse in Caitanya-caritāmṛta.
| | The mind . . . I am spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. As soon as the mind is contaminated, I rebel, because I have got little independence. "Why shall I serve Kṛṣṇa, or God? I am God." It is simply a dictation from the mind. And the whole situation turns: he's under false impression, illusion, and the whole life is spoiled. |
