Know that the Self is the rider, and the body the chariot; that the
intellect is the charioteer, and the mind the reins.
The senses, say the wise, are the horses; the roads they travel are
the mazes of desire....
When a man lacks discrimination and his mind is uncontrolled, his
senses are unmanageable, like the restive horses of a charioteer. But
when a man has discrimination and his mind is controlled, his senses, like the well-broken horses of a charioteer, lightly obey the rein.
