11. Conclusion
Your soul is Rama, your mind is Sita, your breath or life-force (prana) is
Hanuman, your awareness is Laxmana and your ego is Ravana.
When the mind was stolen by ravana (the ego) then the soul got restless.
Now the soul cannot reach the mind on its own, it has to take the help of
the breathe – the prana. With the help of the prana, the mind got reunited
with the soul, and the ego vanished.
