Buddhi (intellect) is superior amongst all the faculties that a human is endowed

with. Its pre-eminence is due to its proximity to the Atman (soul) whereby the

brilliance of the Atman directly falls on it and energizes it. The Buddhi

should exercise its control over the mind, and in turn, the mind over the

senses. But what happens generally is that the Buddhi does not exercise

discrimination; the mind arrogates to itself superiority over the intellect and

the senses arrogate to themselves superiority over the mind. Consequently, the

mind proceeds in the wrong direction and the purpose of life remains

unfulfilled. To avoid this, the Buddhi has to be centered on the Atman and the

mind should act in subordination to Buddhi.- Baba
