Hari Om.
Sw. Chinmayananada says "The intellect is necessary to withdraw itself from its present extrovert employment in the world of sensuality, searching.."
It is like a car. The car shape, engine, trasmission etc. are like the body and mind of the human. The steering is the intellect and the person driving the car is the Atma. The car goes according to the directions from the steering and if that is within the control of the driver, the car drives well. If the steering is out of control of the driver, then it goes haphazard according to the way the engine and wheels take it.
Similarly, our intellect is to be aligned to the Atman within you and that Atman is a reflection of the supreme Brahman (consciousness). As long as the intellect is within that Supreme consciousness, it keeps the mind and body well. If not, the personality (BMI) will dance according to external stimuli and sensations.
