Chapter 3 Shloka 40 इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याधिष्ठानमुच्यते एतैर्विमोहयत्येष ज्ञानमावृत्य देहिनम् Indriyaani mano buddhirasyaadhishthaanamuchyate Etairvimohayatyesha jnyaanamaavritya dehinam The senses, mind and intellect are said to be its residence. Through them the desire covers the body dweller’s wisdom. Shri Krishna reveals the location of the Karmayogi’s enemy. The enemy in the form of desire has three residences. The first residence is the Senses, the second is the Mind and the third is the Intellect. Lord Krishna uses the term body dweller to remind us that the body, mind and intellect are separate than the eternal essence. There is not much that we can do about our natural tendencies. We just need to ensure that they do not obstruct us from our goals. The dangerous place for a desire to reside is in our intellect which is the Faculty that takes decisions based on Analysis and Rationality. Shri Krishna provided Arjuna with the location and nature of the enemy that he needed to tackle. Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Sri Arjuna.
