The intellect is the part of the mind that thinks logically and solves puzzles, like crosswords or math.
The mind is pretty much everything, both the conscious and unconscious and includes nonintellectual parts like emotions.

How should you control senses?

The senses tend to drag the mind towards the world, and the mind fools the intellect and makes it stray from its course. The poor intellect, if it is not cultured by japa of the Lord's name, meditation on the Lord and prayer, gets dragged along with the mind and keeps wandering hither and thither till eternity. If the intellect gets purified through prayer and devotion to the Lord, discrimination will dawn; and then it will say," What in the end shall I gain by satisfying my palate or fulfilling other desires? ‟ It will not become a slave to the mind. Ask yourself again and again " What in the end shall I gain from this? ‟ This will make your intellect strong and the resolves and counter-resolves of the mind will be reduced. Your mind and your intellect will then be at rest.


How can control your mind?

One way to control the mind is silence. The moment we shut off our five senses, and still our movements, the mind will still wander but it will slow down. As we slow down the pace of the mind, it will reduce producing thoughts like a popcorn machine. Slowly and steadily, the practice of silence can get us to control our mind. However, we all have been given an instrument known as the intellect. The intellect controls thoughts. The mind is nothing but thoughts. When we activate our intellect to discriminate between thoughts, to choose what is right from wrong, then we will slowly and steadily get a control of our mind.

How do you take over the mind?

The simple way of taking over the mind is to watch the mind. Therefore, we need silence, and when we are silent, the mind slows down. When we become the witness and the observer, when there is consciousness, and we observe the body as somebody separate from us, when we watch the mind and its thoughts, we start taking command of the mind. Another way of taking command of the mind is to differentiate the mind which produces thoughts, from the intellect that discriminates thoughts. The mind, the intellect, the memory, and the ego, are four different aspects of our subtle or invisible body. When we realize that the mind is our biggest enemy, it bombards us with thoughts and creates fear, worry, and anxiety, and we use the intellect to discriminate thought, we take charge of the mind and then the senses that provoke the mind. This is the journey of self-realization or enlightenment.
