Monkeys are notorious. Everybody knows. One monkey in Pashupati Nath was even more notorious than other monkeys can imagine. Suddenly one day he got his tail cut on the thorny fences in the jungle near to Guheswori.

 

Monkey society is different. Laws, rules, regulations are very strict. I know the laws. Just sharing it now with you. But you are also aware of it only problem is your memory power. Don’t worry you will remember once you read this analogy. In monkey society, the monkeys with tail cut are not accepted. Same happened to that poor fellow. All monkeys started to hate him. He could not protest against the hatred and could not do anything merely to leave that place. When the hatred reached to its peak, he left the place and started to meditate somewhere in the jungle little bit far from Pashupatinath.

 

One day another monkey by chance came across the place where the tail cut monkey was meditating. He was surprised to see the tail cut monkey doing meditation. With curiosity to satisfy inquisitiveness he asked the reason behind the meditation. The answer was surprising.

 

Tail cut monkey said, “O my boy, once I lost my tail, I started doing this, and whenever I do this, Hanuman comes to me and talks to me.”

 

The second monkey surprisingly said, “Really, please help to see Hanuman and talk to him and get blessed from him.”

 

To monkeys Hanuman is their god. Seeing Hanuman is being blessed. The monkey having tail begged for thousand times to teach him the meditation. At last, he was taught the way to do meditation. But it was worthless. He saw nothing. After meditation the tail cut monkey again described glory, power, muscle, tail etc. of Hanuman and the talks he had had with Hanuman. Next monkey was surprised and became more curious to know about the reason behind not seeing Hanuman during meditation. Later both of them came into conclusion of tail. They figured out that it was because of tail, the next monkey was not able to see Hanuman.

 

He also cut his tail. It was very painful to him. But he was searching for Hanuman darshan, so the pain was nothing. He started meditating with his cut tail. He did meditation despite the pain in tail. He did it for 5 hours. He did it very seriously. But to his surprise he did not see Hanuman. But the first monkey was still describing about Hanuman. The second one again did the meditation for second time… still there was no effect… “Oh… god… I am pissed off.!!!!.”, the second monkey said… “I am really pissed off…” he knew that the first monkey was simply pretending him of fake visit of Hanuman during meditation just to cut his tail. It was just a revenge of first monkey. The second monkey now could do nothing. Neither he could go back to old community where he belongs to again nor he could get his cut tail back from the first monkey who himself was tail cut. He did not have any idea except to follow the first monkey and start meditation. Week passed, fortnights passed, months passed … the meditation went on. Again one day another monkey came … and the same story began… again some time later another came… the same story… later after a year all the monkeys in Pashupati Nath cut their tail…
