आत्मानं रथिनं विद्धि शरीरं रथमेव तु।बुद्धिं तु सारथिं विद्धि मनः प्रगहमेव च॥
इन्द्रियाणि हयानाहुíवषयांस्तेषु गोचरान्।आत्मेन्द्रियमनोयुक्तं भोक्तेत्याहुर्मनीषिणः॥

Self is the rider of the chariot, where Body is the Chariot. Intelligence is Charioteer, and Mind is the reins. Senses are the horses (which drag us everywhere), The objects are the roads. The Self, (though) associated with Body & Mind is the enjoyer.
