How To Come in Terms With Your Monkey Mind?

 How To Come in Terms With Your Monkey Mind?

I recently heard this story from Anandmurti Gurumaa, who is a master, about a man who hung upside down from a tree branch and moved around like a monkey. This is a well-known tale that masters frequently tell. When a wise man approaches, he inquires as to why he has assumed this odd position. The man answered that he was doing this to figure out how to oversee his brain. The astute man, giggling, shouted that it was the brain that was guiding him to hang himself topsy turvy and the man was paying attention to his psyche, so how in the world could he hope to control his mind to which he was subjugated?

You simply do what your mind tells you to do when you walk, talk, eat, jump, laugh, or cry. Your mind is in charge of orchestrating every action you take. Mannmadaari, tum Bandar - you are the monkey, getting into the rhythm of the monkey mentor, the psyche. To oversee your activities and considerations, you really want to become mindful that the very mind you are attempting to control is as a matter of fact holding you. To be able to control the monkey mind, therefore, transcend it.

What exists above and beyond the intellect? It is intellect or Buddhi. Therefore, make use of your intellect to acquire knowledge and comprehension that will enable you to take a step back and comprehend the bigger picture, allowing you to disassociate yourself from what is taking place without becoming indifferent or disinterested. You can only control your thoughts and actions at that point.

How can one free themselves from the chains that compel them to follow their own desires? First, you need to learn to focus on going above and beyond the clever mind to center the mind that is taking you everywhere on a merry-go-round. For this purpose, you can engage in any practice like meditation, chanting, recitation, singing, painting, or just being that helps you relax and unwind.

A key to a whole new world of grace and joy is also mindful living. The most well-known votary of care practice in current times has been the Vietnamese Harmony priest, Thich Nhat Hanh, who raised even the most everyday demonstration to sly, careful, imaginative demonstrations that give appreciation and pleasure. Cleaning your teeth, eating an orange, in any event, strolling, and breathing, when done carefully, assist with making poise, vital to improve your abilities at mind the board. You can avoid distractions and negative thoughts that tend to jangle your mind and rob it of clarity by being completely present at the moment and aware of what you are doing.

Other than standard work, feeling appreciative for all you have or have encountered, both great and terrible - for even the awful leaves you with important illustrations - causes you to feel more quiet, sympathetic, and focused. You will gradually be able to rise above and beyond the monkey mind and ultimately experience the lightness of being if you engage in a consistent practice that trains you to cultivate the no-mind state of plenitude or even emptiness—for fullness and emptiness are two sides of the same coin. In addition, mastering your thoughts and actions begins when you experience the light within, no matter how briefly.
