This quotation from the Katha Upanishad is really neat. I hope all find meaning 
in it.
 
Venkitesh (Viji)
 
 
"Think of the soul as the master of the chariot.  The body is the 
chariot itself, the faculty of reason is the rider, and the mind is the 
reins.  The senses are the horses, and desires are the roads on which they 
travel.  When the master of the chariot has full control of the 
chariot, the rider, the reins and the horses, then the chariot moves swiftly 
and smoothly.  In the same way, when the soul controls the body, the 
mind and the senses, then life is joyful and happy.  But when the master 
lacks control, the horses run wild.  In the same way, when the body, the 
mind and the senses are not controlled by the soul, there is misery and 
suffering."                                                                 
(Katha Upanishad 3: 3-7)
