Be the charioteer who knows

  Body is the chariot Sense organs are the horses Glittering world attract the senses Mind wanders here and there Drunken driver is a threat to himself and the world Bhuddhi when unclear  makes everything turned Road may be dark and slippery Horses may run wildly Be the master in charge holding things that may dodge Pleasure and pain are the same for the homeless and the queen Be the charioteer who knows Be the one who holds the reins Kathopanishad 1:3:3 आत्मानँ रथितं विद्धि शरीरँ रथमेव तु । बुद्धिं तु सारथिं विद्धि मनः प्रग्रहमेव च ॥  ātmānam̐ rathitaṃ viddhi śarīram̐ rathameva tu | buddhiṃ tu sārathiṃ viddhi manaḥ pragrahameva ca || 3 ||
