Because God had given us intellect also.
(power of discrimination also). Mind, with the help of 5 senses perceives the outer world. Without the 5 senses, we will not be able to touch, see, hear, taste or smell anything. The 5 senses sends the information to the mind. The information perceived by mind gets discriminated by the intellect. Suppose The mind wants ice cream, the intellect will say to stop after 1 or 2 scoops. But without the intellect, the mind will just keep hogging. So mind, Intellect, memory are part of the layers of existence. Of course the nature of the mind is to keep jumping, wavering. And it has to be that way. For Eg, You are sitting in the room and a snake suddenly comes in. Because the mind keeps scanning here and there, it quickly reacts and send the message to intellect which in turn will tell you to run. Without the mind, you will not sense anything and land in trouble! You having a control over your thoughts is heaven, If thoughts control you, its hell. Mind is just like a child that will create ruckus if let free. So use your intelligence to give proper direction to mind. Meditate to rest the mind, Be in wisdom to sharpen the intellect. Music to balance both head and heart.
