Chariot metaphor: The material body is compared to a chariot. The five senses of the body are the five horses of the chariot while the mind is the reins that holds and controls the horses. The power of reason with the so called knowledge "buddhi" is the driver of the chariot. The passenger of the chariot seated inside is the individual spirit soul. Under the direction and control of the knowledge (wisdom), the five senses with the help of mind ropes, relentlessly serving the passenger, the spirit soul, who is continuously seeking and traveling to the destination of divine happiness in every life. Try to understand this analogy more deeply - The passenger as the soul, the body as the chariot, five senses as the five sense organs consisting of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin, the mind as the reins that hold the horses, the driver as the intellect and wisdom, the spiritual journey is going on from time immemorial to reach the divine destination.
