0Concept of Personality from Kathopnishad
Kathopnishad explains personality in a very excellent way. It resembles with Chariot (Rath). Chariot is the body; Five horses are five senses, Reign is Manas, Charioteer is Intellect and master is sitting in a chariot.
If horses are well trained, the charioteer is awakened, Rein also under control, but chariot is not in good condition. Do you think that that chariot can reach the destination?
No. Not at all possible.
If Chariot is in good condition, the charioteer is awakened, Rein also under control, but horses are not broken or trained do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
If Chariot is in good condition, horses are trained, Rein also under control, but charioteer is sleeping do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
If Chariot is in good condition, horses are trained, the charioteer is awakened, but rein is not under control do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
Same thing applicable to us also.
If Five senses are under control, Mind in control, Intellect also awaken, but the body is not in good condition. We can not achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, Mind is under control, Intellect also awakens, but senses are not under control. We can not achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, Intellect also awaken, five senses are under control, but the mind is not under control, We can not achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, five senses are under control, mind is under control, but Intellect is in dormant, We can not achieve our goal of life.
Conclusion: Congruency is needed in body, mind, senses, and intellect to achieve the goal of life.
