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…
