“The mind is a good servant but a terrible master.”

Simplified Meaning:
Our thoughts can help us a lot, like a helpful assistant who does what we need. When we use our brain to solve problems, plan our day, or learn new things, it's like our mind is our helpful tool. But if we let our thoughts control us, it can be harmful. For example, if we always worry about the future or keep thinking about past mistakes, it can make us feel stressed and unhappy. Imagine a car: it's great when you drive it to go places, but if you let it drive itself without control, it could crash. Similarly, we should use our thinking to guide us, not let our anxious or negative thoughts drive our lives. To have a happier, more peaceful life, we should manage our thoughts carefully and not let them take over our actions and feelings.
