A good metaphor for the relationship of the body, mind, intellect and soul is that of a chariot. The chariot is the body, the driver is the intellect, the reins are the mind, the horses are the five senses, and the passenger is the soul. The soul goes along with the chariot of the body, guided by the driver as the intellect, using the reins of the mind, to control the horses as sense organs. The roads are the journey of life. Let our journey be well-chosen!
