Hindrance 4 - Restlessness
The fourth hindrance is called “restlessness”. It is the state of an unsettled mind. “Unsettled mind” means our mind cannot settle. Settle where? Settle in the present moment.

A simile used here is the monkey mind, constantly jumping from one branch to another, unable to stay for too long time at the present moment. The problem is, there is no time to see clearly anymore.
