Five wild horses can be good and can be bad ..

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada writes…

“Transcendentalists who are advanced in knowledge compare the body, which is made by the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to a chariot. The senses are like the horses; the mind, the master of the senses, is like the reins; the objects of the senses are the destinations; intelligence is the chariot driver; and consciousness, which spreads throughout the body, is the cause of bondage in this material world.

For a bewildered person in the materialistic way of life, the body, the mind and the senses, which are engaged in sense gratification, are the cause of bondage to repeated birth, death, old age and disease. But for one who is advanced in spiritual knowledge, the same body, senses, and mind are the cause of liberation.”

In the Caitanya Caritamrita Antya lila Chapter 15 .

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s trancendental life is described,  He is experiencing the deepest trancendental bliss and the  emotions of ‘Suratarangani Srimati Radharani , Suratarangani means the great force of the River of Srimati Radharani’s love for Krishna , such a force is incomprehensible and factually the most powerful of all energies in the whole of the spiritual or material worlds.

Mahaprabhu , in the  mood of Srimati Radharani , felt each of His five senses pulling Him towards Krishna . Each sense was competing with the other , a great trancendental madness came about , such is the beauty of Krishna that each of Mahaprabhu’s individual senses  were forcibly compelled to act independently of the other senses , an  uncontrollable eagerness like a raging river of  attraction for Krishna came about in Him as Srimati Radharani feels . The Bhagavad Gita’s five uncontrollable horses of  a conditioned soul were  turned around , and the perfection of the  spiritual sences of Srimati Radharani was exhibited . Because the purpose was to serve Krishna’s emaculate senses , giving  exclusively only selfless  pleasure to Krishna . It was like every ” atom ” was forcibly drawn towards its origins.

Thus, the Glorious lessons of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu were bestowed upon mankind.
