Rathakalpana - Kathopanisad

 

आत्मानँ रथितं विद्धि शरीरँ रथमेव तु ।
बुद्धिं तु सारथिं विद्धि मनः प्रग्रहमेव च ॥
इन्द्रियाणि हयानाहुर्विषयाँ स्तेषु गोचरान् ।
आत्मेन्द्रियमनोयुक्तं भोक्तेत्याहुर्मनीषिणः ॥

Know the Self as the lord of the chariot; Body – the chariot itself, Intellect as the charioteer; Mind as reins, senses the horses, Desires the roads to travel. The self, misidentified with the body, points out mind and senses; seemingly enjoys pleasure, and suffers sorrow. - Kathopanisad
