courtesy of The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc. www.krishna.com The 34th verse of chapter 6 of Bhagwad Gita specifically mentions that the individual self is the passenger in the chariot of the material body and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument and the senses are the horses. The self is thus the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses.
cancalam hi manah krsna pramathi balavaddrdham Intelligence is supposed to direct the mind, but the mind is so strong and obstinate that it often overcomes even ones own intelligence. The mind is strong and obstinate and like one cannot capture the blowing wind, it is even more difficult to capture the turbulent mind. Hence, the easiest way to keep the mind in control is the chanting of Hare krshna, the great mantra for deliverance.

bhajante mam janah sukrtinorjuna Arjun, there are four kinds of good people who worship me; those who desire earthly gain,s those who are suffering, those who seek knowledge and those who possess wisdom. Tesam

Bhagwad gita says: buddhir jnanam asammohah, ksama satyam damah samah, sukham dukham bhavo bhavo, bhayam cabhayam eva cha. Ahimsa samta tusti, tapodanam yaso yasah, bhavanti bhava bhutanam, matta eva prthag vidhah" (in short means, the qualities of human beings are all created by the lord Krishna.These qualities of intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of senses, mind, happiness and distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy are all to be on guard.) Ksama, tolerance and forgiveness, should be practiced; one should be tolerant and excuse the offenses of others. Then there is peace, then there is love and when there is love, Miracles Happen!
