Body is like Kingdom and its true ruler is the soul. As in Mahabharata, Pandavas(Soul) were actual ruler of Hastinapur(body) but the kauravas (5 senses) took over the Kingdom with the help of blind Dhritarashtra ( intellect ). Throughout one's life this Mahabharata is going inside each one of us. Fight of good and bad to own this kingdom. Soul gives birth to all good qualities like Love, peace, happiness etc. and 5 senses gives birth to anger, greed, lust, jealousy, lethargic etc.
Five senses is already having the advantage because they can fool the blind king (intellect) by looking at outside world and convincing the intellect to follow or run behind materialistic pleasures. But soul with only help of true wisdom ( Krishna ) can again regain the kingdom back. This realization to intellect comes only when it gets tired of chasing the materialistic pleasures one after another and don't get anything out of it, then finally it starts searching for the ultimate truth. This is point where one turns into true seeker ( Arjuna ).
Most humans don't get this realization during many cycles of birth and death and as a result are gets stuck in cycle but others who attains the stage of Arjuna ( true seeker of ultimate truth ) gets liberated.
