Yoga Sutra 4.05 it is the one mind that impels the several minds

Sūtra IV.5

In the variety of activities, it is the one mind that impels the several minds

Though there is variety in their activities, it is one mind that impels all the minds which it has projected. From it come the differences in activity.

In the variety of activities, it is the one mind that impels the several minds. Though there is variety in their activities, it is one mind that impels all the minds which it has projected, as it were superintending the results in each different body.

And that complies with the will of the yogin. The other projected minds with their many different activities are obedient to the controller mind. From it, their bare activities are supervised, and further, the differences in activity, like the different activities which arise from the fact of one’s being kind. So it is right that the activities of the projected minds should thus wait on the purposes of one mind.
