FROST's "STOPPING BY WOODS" and UPANISHAD
by SANTHOSH KUMAR KANA.
In Kathopanishad, the human body is compared to a chariot, the intellect to the charioteer, the senses to horses, the objects of the senses the roads or things outside.The driver is responsible for the movement of the chariot. In the poem, the charioteer exercises his intellect and takes the chariot ahead overcoming the attraction of the lovely woods. A person who cannot resist the temptation of sense objects bringing the senses under control can't have a successful or peaceful life. The picture of the poet in the carriage in the poem is a visual representation of the spiritual truth in Kathopanishad.
