Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 67
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 67

इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि।।2.67।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 2.67)
।।2.67।।अपनेअपने विषयोंमें विचरती हुई इन्द्रियोंमेंसे एक ही इन्द्रिय जिस मनको अपना अनुगामी बना लेती है वह अकेला मन जलमें नौकाको वायुकी तरह बुद्धिको हर लेता है।


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
2.67 Hi, for; yat manah, the mind which; anu-vidhiyate, follows in the wake of; caratam, the wandering; indriyani, senses that are tending towards their respective objects; tat, that, the mind engaged in thinking [Perceiving objects like sound etc. in their respective varieties.] of the objects of the senses; harati, carries away, destroys; asya, his, the sannyasins; prajnam, wisdom born from the discrimination between the Self and the not-Self. How? Iva, like; vayuh, the wind; diverting a navam, boat; ambhasi, on the waters. As wind, by diverting a boat on the waters from its intended course, drives it along a wrong course, similarly the mind, by diverting the wisdom from the pursuit of the Self, makes it engage in objects.
After having stated variously the reasons for the idea conveyed through the verse, For, O son of Kunti, etc. (60), and having established that very idea, the Lord concludes thus:

2.67 See Comment under 2.68


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
2.67 That mind, which is allowed by a person to be submissive to, i.e., allowed to go after the senses which go on operating, i.e., experiencing sense-objects, such a mind loses its inclination towards the pure self. The meaning is that it gets inclined towards sense-objects. Just as a contrary wind forcibly carries away a ship moving on the waters, in the name manner wisdon also is carried away from such a mind. [The idea is that the pursuit of sense pleasures dulls ones spiritual inclination, and the mind ultimately succumbs to them unresisting.]
