Some food was placed in the hole. The size of the hole was just It allowed the monkey to reach in with empty hands and could not hold the fist out. Then the monkey smelled incense and put his hand in to catch the food. Of course, the clenched fist could not shrink the hole. When the hunter came, the monkey panicked and could not escape.

No one catches the monkey, it is captured by his own attachment, and it can be retracted by simply releasing his hand.

The desires in the heart make us unable to let go. The inner desires and attachments keep us bound. The only thing we have to do is to open our hands and let go of unnecessary attachments, and we will be at ease.
