The mind is a monkey. It will not stop its monkey business of jumping from thought to thought. But as it jumps, it disturbs our Chit, Consciousness of Sat, the Truth and robs our Ananda, Bliss. It makes us live with stress, worry, and anxiety, although we may have realized the Truth. What is the way out of this?
We must make the 'MONKEY' into a 'MONK' by removing its tail, the 'EY' from the 'MONK'. The mind is EY, Ever Yearning. It has desires and expectations and it makes us crave till we reach our grave. When we become conscious of the Truth, we cut the monkey mind's tail. We stop its ever-yearning and ever-yelling and make it a silent monk, making Consciousness prevail. Once the monkey becomes a monk, the realization of the Truth shines in our Consciousness, creating an aura of Peace, Bliss, and Joy.
As long as we do not make the monkey into a monk, we will never experience SatChitAnanda. The mind will project the myth and hide the Truth. It will envelop our Consciousness with thoughts. It will let the senses of the body sink into worldly desires and it will crave. The biggest challenge to remain in SatChitAnanda is to tame the monkey mind. Once the mind is tamed, we can remain conscious of who we are and why we are here, as we enjoy true Bliss and Peace every moment that we live. Otherwise, we will live and die as a hungry monkey.
