The Mind


The Mind

The 5 senses (hear, see, feel, smell and taste) are like wild, untutored servants who dictate terms to the master, the Mind. The mind has to be subdued by you, and then only will the servants obey your every command. The senses prompt the mind to build up a whole array of urges and impulses which we call desires. Control these desires or they will cause you much misery and unhappiness. Remember,
Desires come from Attachment
Deliverance comes from Detachment
The Mind is the King, the senses are the Soldiers. The soldiers are now ruling the King because he lends his ears to them and not the intellect, who is the Prime Minister. Let your intellect take charge.
