Atma identified with the Body, Mind & Intellect is the charioteer. The body is the chariot. It has to be dynamic. Desire and enthusiasm are needed in life to act and achieve. Charioteer is the intellect. There are 5 duties of a charioteer. The mind is the reins and the senses are the horses. What is the tuning between the Intellect, Mind & Senses? Sense objects are the path on which the horses tread. Identified with these the Infinite Atma becomes the finite doer and enjoyer. One whose intellect is not discriminative and whose mind is not focussed, the senses of that person will be wild and irredeemable.
