"Mind is a Monkey"

"Mind is a Monkey" let's Analyze these sayings..

The Monkey is Hanuman, if our mind is engrossed with the Bhakti of the Lord, then no Maya can bind us, as Lord resides in our Soul.. 

There is an Incident in Ramayana, Jambuvant made Hanuman to realise his hidden powers, and by realizing it, with the grace of the Lord, Hanuman Jumped the Ocean and reached Srilanka,... For a Layman, his Chitt-shakti is situated in the Mooladhara chakra, when a Guru(Jambuvant) makes us realize our hidden powers, with the grace of the Lord, we too can jump the Bhavasagar and all the Chakras and reach the Sahasaradhara and Merge with the Infinite..

Again at Lanka Indrajeet (Son of Ravana) ties up Hanuman and takes Hanuman in front of Ravana and Ravana torches Hanuman's tail, and with the grace of the Lord, Hanuman in turn sets up the Golden Lanka on fire...

Indrajeet is Greed, Ravana is Ego, when Greed ties up the Mind and takes it to the Ego, only with the grace of the Lord, the Mind can burn down the Vasanas (Golden Lanka)....

Hanuman has Lord Rama and Sita seated in His Soul....and became Chiranjeevi (no death)

when Mind has Bhakti and Lord seated in it, then there is no Janma-Marna Bandhana for the Soul, it becomes Chiranjeevi by Merging into the Infinity.....
