From the Sanskrit
Seated within this body’s car
The silent Self is driven afar;
And the five senses at the pole
Like studs are tugging restive of control.
And if the driver lose his way
Or the reins sundu, who can say
In what blind paths, what pits of fear,
Will plunge the chargers in their mad career?
Drive well, O Mind, use all thy art,
Thou chariotur! – O feeling Heart,
Or thou a bridle firm and strong!
For the Lord rideth and the way is long…
