How the Mind is Able to Move

Our mind is like a person who possesses eyes but no legs, and so can see things but cannot move from one place to another by himself. In the same way our mind can see objects but cannot move from one object to another by itself. It can move from one object to another only through the force of a mount. The mount for the mind is the inner winds. Inner winds are the subtle winds associated with the mind, and flow through the channels of the body. It is said that there is nothing quicker than the mind. For example, our mind can reach the moon in an instant by thinking of the moon, but without inner winds this is impossible. A detailed explanation about inner winds can be found in Appendix IV of Modern Buddhism.
