Vahana

Does one need to own a vehicle in order to be the chosen one? Something to ponder over, between one's morning ablutions and reading the morning paper, or is it the other way around.
Vahana, the vehicle or the creature that serves as the vehicle, was not owned. Yet the association is so complete and thorough, the two are inseparable, and of course chosen by the multitude of millions.
Which brings me to my favourtite Vahana of all time, the chariot pulled by seven horses. I used to wonder, how seven horses were controlled so as to make the chariot tread the more desired path.
I guess the chariot to this day treads a path of its own.
