TEXT 67 indriyanam hi caratam
SYNONYMS  indriyanam--of
the senses; hi--certainly; caratam--while herding over; yat--that;
manah--mind;
anuvidhiyate--becomes constantly engaged; tat--that;

TRANSLATION As a boat
on the water is swept away by a strong wind, even one of the 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 Maharaja Ambarisa, all of the
senses must be engaged in Krsna consciousness, for that is the correct
technique for controlling the mind.
