रथः शरीरं पुरुषस्य दृष्टम; आत्मा नियतेन्द्रियाण्य आहुर अश्वान तैर अप्रमत्तः कुशली सदश्वैर; दान्तैः सुखं याति रथीव धीरः ॥ ३-२०२-२१ ॥

sanskrit

'The body is seen as the chariot of a person; the soul is the charioteer, and the senses are the horses. A wise charioteer, who is vigilant and skillful, controls the horses with discipline and, with a calm mind, reaches the goal of happiness, just like a charioteer who rides with well-trained horses.' ॥ 3-202-21 ॥
