How to capture a monkey

======================

A lot of Inner Peace Be Upon You subscribers

know that I either do yoga or highly recommend

it for those wanting to seek inner peace.

In one of my yoga classes, the yoga instructor

told us a story about how to capture a monkey:

The way to capture a monkey is to get a jar and

within the jar put a bunch of nuts. Leave it

for the monkey, who will soon find it and stick

its hand into the jar. When the monkey has grabbed

a handful of nuts and tries to pull his hand out,

the monkey is trapped. You see when the monkey

tries to pull his hand out with the peanuts, the lid

is too small to allow both.

The monkey has a choice: keep hold of the nuts and

risk being captured since his hand is stuck inside, or

let go of the nuts, free his hand and escape.

The same concept applies in our own lives. The

desires and wants that we have can also be

the very things that trap us. Sometimes we have to

decide between what we want and trapping

ourselves, and what we let go and free ourselves.

The choice of deciding what we do, just like the

monkey, is our own.
