The divergent horses of body and soul pulling the Greek chariot are driven by the divine faculty of reason, described by Aristotle as “in the highest sense, a man's self.” The Katha chariot, however, has two occupants: the reasoning faculty is merely a charioteer in the service of the ultimate lord, atman.
