The Bhagavad Gita - II - 66
नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य नाचायुक्तस्य भावना।
नचाभावयत: शंति: अशान्तस्य कुतः सुखं।।
For the one who is not rooted in the truth, the Buddhi or intellect is non-functional. When the Buddhi does not function, there is no possibility of having a firm picture of the divine self, whether in a form or without it. The Buddhi is the one that gives a definite picture. In the place of the Buddhi, the mind rules. The mind as you know is never steady. It is always wavering with its innumerable thoughts. It means, such a person knows no peace. When there is no peace of mind, where can one expect to experience bliss?
The equation goes like this - an unconnected intellect cannot have a divine glimpse of the truth. It is replaced by the wavering mind. The mind is unsteady and hence knows no peace. When there is no peace, there is no experience of bliss too!

Where is joy when the intellect is unconnected
