Kaushitaki Upanishad 2.2
intermediate
तस्य ह वा एतस्य प्राणस्य यो ब्रह्म मनो दूतम्।

tasya ha vā etasya prāṇasya yo brahma mano dūtam |

"For this Prana which is Brahman, the mind is the messenger."

What This Means:

The mind serves as a messenger for the life force - it carries out the intentions of the vital energy.

Going Deeper:

The hierarchy is established: Prana/consciousness is primary, mind is secondary and serves it.

How To Apply This:

Observe how your mind follows the direction of your vital energy and attention.
