mulah—the origin of which; svikuryét—would accept: kah—who; nu—
indeed: tat—that mind; budhah—if one is learned.

TRANSLATION

The mind is the root cause of lust, anger, pride, greed, lamenta-
tion, illusion and fear. Combined, these constitute bondage to
fruitive activity. What learned man would put faith in the mind?

PURPORT

The mind is the original cause of material bondage. It is followed by
many enemies, such as anger. pride, greed, lamentation. illusion and
fear. The best way to control the mind is to engage it always in Krsna
consciousness (sa vai manah krsna-padéravindayoh). Since the
followers of the mind bring about material bondage. we should be very
careful not to trust the mind.
