Real fact is how to control the mind. Here we see that mana madana-vepitam. Na śaśāka samādhātuṁ mano madana-vepitam. Our mind is always agitated for sense enjoyment. Mind is the master of the senses, or the chief man, just like superintendent. Mind is dictating, and the senses . . . the mind is dictating, "You go there," immediately the legs go. "You see here," the eyes see. So mind is the center.

"You see here," the eyes see. So mind is the center.
