"The individual is the passenger in the car of the material body, and the
intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument, and the senses are the
horses. The self is thus the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and

higher than the intelligence. The avyakta (the unmanifested) is higher than the
mahat. The puruṣa (person) is higher than the unmanifested. Nothing is higher
than the person. The person is the highest."

verses beginning indriyebhyaḥ parā hy arthāḥ explain how in the control of the
body and its various adjuncts, which are metaphorically considered a chariot and
its adjuncts, the various members is more or less difficult to control. In this
