The Horse, The Chariot and the Charioteer
In Katha Upanishad, an ancient Indian scripture, the body of a person is likened to a chariot, in which the mind is the reins directing the horses (heart). If the reins (the mind) are too tight, the horses (heart and emotions) will not get you far. If the reins are too loose, the horses will go astray, taking you anywhere. Who he guides the reins must know the horses and the horses must know what the guider of the reins want, in order to lead the chariot to the right direction.
