The mind is sometimes characterized as a snake. This is because it doesn't move straight. It delights in crooked stratagems and clever contrivances. It avoids the straight path of sincerity and veracity. But, the snake mind can be charmed into innocence. When the snake charmer plays on his instrument, the snake sways its hood entranced; so, too the mind will sway with the music that emanates from the recitation of the Name of God!
Kadang-kadang pikiran diibaratkan seperti ular. Hal ini karena pikiran tidak berjalan lurus. Pikiran senang berliku-liku dan pandai dalam hal muslihat dan tipu daya. Pikiran menghindari jalan lurus kejujuran dan ketulusan hati. Tetapi ular pikiran dapat terpesona pada kemurnian. Ketika pawang ular memainkan instrumennya, si ular menggoyangkan kepalanya terpesona, begitu juga pikiran akan terbuai oleh musik yang berasal dari pengulangan Nama Tuhan!
