A word said in heat, a purchase made in a minute — you pay for years. The mind bolted, and the rest followed. In the Upanishads, Śrī Prem Prayojan Prabhu reminds us, the body is a chariot: the intellect is the driver, the mind the reins, and five horses are harnessed: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch. The horses rush at whatever they see, like any animal; a human being has one advantage — he can pull the reins in, and then the yantra, the machine of this body, carries him toward the goal. Then one question shifts the picture: where in all this are you? Not the chariot, not the driver, not the reins, not the horses. You are the one who rides: the passenger for whose sake the team is harnessed.
