returning to cage on call of master
|
Imported quote 18530 Just like at the present moment the human society cannot understand what is God. Cannot understand. Mumuhe. It is the chance, human form of life, to understand God, and therefore sastra, Vedanta, says atha, athato brahma-jijnasa: "Now you inquire about Brahman." Uttisthata jagrata prapya varan nibodhata [Katha Upanisad 1.3.14]: "Why you are sleeping again? This is a chance." There is a very good example, that some people, they keep that kit-kit[?] bird, and they are trained up to walk on the field and again come in the cage. So the master gives him the chance, "Now, get out. Come in the free field." So if he likes, he can go away, fly away. But his attraction is so acute that after some times walking on the field, again the master says, "kit, kit, kit, kit," again he enters. He could fly away. This is a chance.
