When there was a desire to think about the activities of His own energy, then the heart (the seat of the mind), the mind, the moon, determination and all desire became manifested.

The heart of every living entity is the seat of the Supersoul, Paramātmā, a plenary expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Without His presence the living entity cannot get into the working energy according to his past deeds. The living entities who are conditioned in the material world are manifested in the creation in terms of respective inclinations inherent in them, and the requisite material body is offered to each and every one of them by the material energy under the direction of the Supersoul. This is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā (9.10) . When, therefore, the Supersoul is situated in the heart of the conditioned soul, the requisite mind is manifested in the conditioned soul, and he becomes conscious of his occupation as one is conscious of his duty after waking up from slumber. Therefore the material mind of the living entity develops when the Supersoul sits on his heart, after which the mind, the controlling deity (moon), and then the activities of the mind (namely thinking, feeling and willing) all take place. The activities of the mind cannot begin without the manifestation of the heart, and the heart becomes manifested when the Lord wants to see the activities of the material creation.

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
When the universal form desired to contemplate material objects and illusions concerning himself, the heart appeared. Then the sense organ called the mind, the devatā called Candra and the sense objects determination and desire arose.
Commentary

Desiring to contemplate māyā concerning himself and objects created by māyā, the location called the heart appeared. Then sense organ called the mind, the devatā called Candra, and the sense objects determination and desire appeared. From the Third Canto (3.6.23-26) it is also understood that in the location of the heart, the senses known as cittā, false ego and intelligence, and the devatās Vāsudeva, Rudra and Brahmā also appeared. In this way, eighteen senses have been mentioned. This is known from the Eleventh Canto. [Note: SB 11.22.31-32]
