Why does the mind seem stronger than the soul?

From: Isha nagargoje:

Both mind and soul have their own individual existence and hence desires.But majority of the time our mind seems to be more powerfull than the soul.and the soul misunderstands the desires of the mind as its own and wants to enjoy.in day to day life how can we distinguish between the desires of mind and what the soul really wants?can we, over the course of time extinguish the mind?when we engage in krishna conscious activities who is the enjoyer what happens to the mind?
