The Journey of Life

-------------------

 

The journey of life can be safely completed

and the Supreme world of Vishnu reached only if one

keeps a watchful control over the senses. The body is

like a chariot to which the senses are yoked like

horses.

The mind is like the reins, which enable the charioteer,

viz. the understanding, to hold the horses, i.e., the

senses, in check. The soul rides on the chariot,

and the road is the world of objects over which the

senses move. If the reins are not held firmly and

wisely, the senses, like vicious horses, will get

out of control, and the chariot will not reach the goal,

but will go round and round in births and re-births.

If the man is wise and controls his mind, his senses

will be like good horses driven by a good driver.
