<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 5.11.9|SB 5.11.9, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">There are five working senses and five knowledge-acquiring senses. There is also the false ego. In this way, there are eleven items for the mind's functions.

<div class="purport text"><p>The mind is the controller of the five knowledge-acquiring senses and the five working senses. Each sense has its particular field of activity. In all cases, the mind is the controller or owner. By the false ego one thinks oneself the body and thinks in terms of "my body, my house, my family, my society, my nation" and so on. These false identifications are due to the expansions of the false ego. Thus one thinks that he is this or that. Thus the living entity becomes entangled in material existence.</p>
