PURPORT
1n  Bhagavad-gītā  (18.61) Lord Krṣṇa explains::
İsvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe ‘rjuna tiṣṭhati bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā
“The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine made of material energy.”
Thus the living entity wanders within this universe riding upon a chariot (the body) bestowed by material nature. A similar explanation is given in the  Kaṭha Upaniṣad  (1.3.3,4):
ātmānaṁ rathinaṁ viddhi 
  śarīraṁ ratham eva tu 
  buddhiṁ tu sārathiṁ viddhi 
  manaḥ pragraham eva ca
