Bhagavad Gita 2.67

इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते।तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि॥

indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano'nuvidhīyate |tadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi ||

For the mind, which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, carries away his discrimination, as the wind carries away a boat on the waters.

As a ship at sea is tossed by the tempest, so the reason is carried away by the mind when preyed upon by straying senses.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
