Chapter 2: Verse-67
indriyanam hi caratam TRANSLATION
As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man’s intelligence. PURPORT
Unless all of the senses are engaged in the service of the Lord, even one of them engaged in sense gratification can deviate the devotee from the path of transcendental advancement. As mentioned in the life of Mahäräja Ambarisa, all of the senses must be engaged in krsna consciousness, for that is the correct technique for controlling the mind.
