Katha Upanishad : quote

[Guest guest]

" Think of the soul as the master of the chariot. The body is the

chariot itself, the faculty of reason is the rider, and the mind is the

reins. The senses are the horses, and desires are the roads on which they

travel. When the master of the chariot has full control of the

chariot, the rider, the reins and the horses, then the chariot moves swiftly

and smoothly. In the same way, when the soul controls the body, the

mind and the senses, then life is joyful and happy. But when the master

lacks control, the horses run wild. In the same way, when the body, the

mind and the senses are not controlled by the soul, there is misery and

suffering. "
