Be Here Now by Ram Dassby Parker on Twos“The human mind is like that monkey, incessantly active by its own nature, then it becomes drunk with the wine of desire, thus increasing its turbulence. After desire takes possession comes the sting of the scorpion of jealousy at the success of others, and last of all the demon of pride enters the mind, making it think itself of all importance.” - VivekanandaAs long as the mind is caught in the senses and you are caught in your mind, you remain in the illusion . . . since in the last analysis, your thoughts create your universe. Only when your mind has become completely calm will you reach Buddhahood or enlightenment.
