देखिये और सुनिए यह पंक्तियाँ रामचरितमानस की (लंकाकाण्ड दोहा ७९) - राम-विभीषण संवाद :
रावनु रथी बिरथ रघुबीरा। देखि बिभीषन भयउ अधीरा॥
अधिक प्रीति मन भा सँदेहा। बन्दि चरन कह सहित सनेहा॥
Seeing Ravan on a chariot and Ram on foot, Vibhishan was most disconcerted. His extreme love for the lord made him doubtful; he bowed to Ram and spoke most tenderly...
नाथ न रथ नहिं तन पद त्राना। केहि बिधि जितब बीर बलवाना॥
सुनहु सखा कह कृपानिधाना। जेहिं जय होइ सो स्यंदन आना॥
Dear lord, you have no chariot, nor any protection armour and you are bare foot. How, then, can you conquer this mighty stalwart (Ravan)? Then, Ram says, dear friend, The Chariot (स्यंदन/रथ) which leads one to victory (over maladies), is of another kind.
बल बिबेक दम परहित घोरे। छमा कृपा समता रजु जोरे॥
Valour and Fortitude are the chariot's two wheels; Truth and Vituous Conduct are its abiding flag and pennant; Strength, Discretion, Self-control and Benevolence are its four horses; Forgiveness, Compassion and Equipoise in all circumstances are its reins that harness the horses.
ईस भजनु सारथी सुजाना। बिरति चर्म संतोष कृपाना॥
दान परसु बुधि सक्ति प्रचंडा। बर बिग्यान कठिन कोदंडा॥
The Worship of God is its skilled charioteer; Dispassion is his shield and Contentment is his sword; Charity is his axe and Reason is his fierce power; Highest Wisdom is his relentless bow.
अमल अचल मन त्रोन समाना। सम जम नियम सिलीमुख नाना॥
कवच अभेद बिप्र गुर पूजा। एहि सम बिजय उपाय न दूजा॥
A Pure, Steady Mind is his quiver; Restraint, Serenity and Duties are his arrows; Worship of Guru and Brahmins is his impenetrable armour; There is no other way to ensure victory than this.
सखा धर्ममय अस रथ जाकें। जीतन कहँ न कतहुं रिपु ताकें॥
My friend, he who rides this chariot of Dharma, has no enemy left to conquer in whole world, let alone Ravan.

"Chariot" of Life may be surrogated as "Chariot" of Dharma for breeding no enmity what so ever may it be.
The expression of Vibhishan in the refered dialouge with Ram , shows that after listening to Lord Ram , he relinquished for ever , all his doubts & weakness about Ram as against mighty Ravan .
From this scene, every human can gain , to build one's own Chariot of ingredients as that of Ram & then repose confidence in one's extreme loved-one.
