Bhagavad Gita : Chapter II - 60

Nature of the senses to go outward
Yatatohyapi Kaunteya Purushasya Vipaschitaha|
Indriyani Pramatheeni Haranthi Prasabham Manaha||

Arjuna, the senses are by nature prone to turbulence. Even for the most intelligent and balanced Purusha, who makes an effort towards self-realisation, when swayed by desires of the senses, the mind is dragged forcibly outward. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
