4. Eastern view on the mind/body The body is equated to the chariot The occupant of the chariot is the Atman Buddhi, the intellect, is the charioteer Manas, the mind, is the reins Sense organs are the horses that power the chariot Sense objects are the road on which the chariot travels. A similar analogy is also found in Bhagavad Gita. This analogy may be interpreted to mean that the body, the chariot, itself is inert and derives its energy from the sense organs, the horses. While every component in this analogy is important for the journey, it is the buddhi, the charioteer controlling the sense organs, the horses through the manas, the reins that control the journey. The chariot, the body, is simply dragged on.
