The body is compared to a vehicle and the soul to the driver

  • A car cannot run without a driver. Similarly, the body will not work without the presence of the soul.
  • Just as a young child may not realise that each and every car needs a driver for it to move, those without developed knowledge perceive the body but fail to see the soul within.
  • The driver may identify with his car and even feel kinship with drivers of a similar model. Similarly feelings of friendship or enmity arise from identifying with the body.
  • The driver develops a deep attachment to the car, so in an accident he commonly cries out "You hit me!"If the soul identifies with the body in the same way, then – preoccupied with the body's condition – he becomes caught in a web of distress and happiness.
  • The driver is not satisfied maintaining the car alone without looking after his own needs. Similarly, looking after the body alone cannot satisfy the soul.
  • Although the driver is not the vehicle, he will move according to the nature of the car, namely fast, slow, etc.
  • The same driver can get out of one vehicle and drive another. Similarly, the soul leaves one body and enters another.
