Suppose a person was to catch six animals, with diverse territories and feeding grounds, and tie them up with a strong rope...
The senses are like a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a dog, a jackal, and a monkey all tied up together, pulling this way and that. Mindfulness is like a post that keeps them grounded.
