Despite well hidden in the body, mind still reaches far off places. If someone tries to chase it, he just cannot reach it.

No chariot, a swift horse or even Airawat (a legendary elephant) can reach it. Neither a fast flying bird nor a galloping deer can match it.

Even the wind which has its reach in the three worlds cannot reach it. One who is capable of reaching the land of the world beyond, cannot win the race of mind.

Inveigled by the five vices of maya that has embraced it like a demon, the low and incorrigible mind can only be controlled and disciplined if it accepts the initiation of the True Guru through the kind blessings of saintly and true devotees of the Lord.
