That mind, which is allowed by a person to be submissive to, i.e., allowed to go after the senses which go on operating, i.e., experiencing sense-objects, such a mind loses its inclination towards the pure self. The meaning is that it gets inclined towards sense-objects. Just as a contrary wind forcibly carries away a ship moving on the waters, in the same manner wisdom also is carried away from such a mind. [The idea is that the pursuit of sense pleasures dulls one’s spiritual inclination, and the mind ultimately succumbs to them unresisting.]
