Bhagvad Gita: Steady intelligence (Text 67 & 68, Contents of the Gita Summarized

Indriyanam hi caratam yan mano nuvidhiyate
tad asya harati prajnam vayur navam ivambhasi (Text 67)

Tasmad yasya maha baho nigrhitani sarvasah
indriyanindriyarthebhyas tasya prajna pratisthita (Text 68)

Meaning: 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.
Therefore, O mighty armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.
