Swami Mukundananda
Why does my mind keep craving things, and how is it linked to my intellect?
The intellect decides, the mind desires
The intellect makes a decision and the mind then creates desire to match it. If the intellect decides that real happiness is in ice cream or in money, the mind keeps craving it.
If the intellect makes a firm decision, it brings the mind under control. That is, the mind's work is carried out under the intellect.
