The life force is endowed with intelligence, and this intelligence prevails over the mind and senses. The latter purified by proper use of intelligence, the conditioned soul is liberated. Otherwise, when the intelligence is not used for the control of the senses and the mind, the conditioned soul continues to reincarnate from one particular form of body to another, relentlessly pursuing sense gratification.
Let us understand that the Lord created the mind, senses and intelligence of the living being, the God-distinct spiritual being that each of us is, but that the latter was not created, for it exists eternally as a tiny eternal fragment of the Supreme Lord. However, it sometimes happens that some of these eternal fragments of the Sovereign Lord, these separate souls, become conditioned and are covered by the cloud formed by the material conception of existence, also called the bodily conception of existence, the cause of which is the darkness of ignorance of the data relating to God and the existential truth.
Verily, by His divine presence in the various bodies of dense matter, the bodies of celestial beings, the bodies of human beings, the bodies of land and water animals and the bodies of all plants, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the Absolute Truth, activates the mind and the senses.
By entering and abiding in the body of every living being as the Supreme Soul, the Lord animates the body, the senses, the airs of life and the various mental activities, so that all the etheric and material organs of the body begin their functions.
The Supreme Soul enters the material bodies of created beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals and plants, activates the mind and the senses, and thus causes the material-conditioned incarnate souls to approach the three modes of influence of material nature: virtue, passion and ignorance, for sense gratification.
The individual incarnate spirit being, distinct from God, master of the material body in which he resides, then uses his material senses, which have been activated by the Lord, to try to enjoy the sense objects composed of the three modes of influence of nature.
When the living being sees something with his eyes, he must understand that his vision acts only in the second place, after that of the Supreme Soul. God Himself sees everything before it becomes visible to us. So it is with all the senses. Lord Krishna is the Master of all living beings and the Supreme Master of all material bodies, for no one can achieve his ends without His permission. He alone confers the fruits of all acts.
