A Bird in a Golden Cage
There was once a king, who heard the sweet song of a bird. A bird that was able to fly to different branches of different trees, roam in the clear blue sky or thunderous showers. It could see the whole world with it’s wings whenever it wanted. It enjoyed its freedom. However, the King was in love with the birdsong and wanted to hear it every morning.
The King’s Assistant caught the bird and placed it in a golden cage filled with diamonds, and other precious stones. However, the bird didn’t like the cage because he couldn’t fly and this deeply upset him. He would weep and the King thought the bird was singing a beautiful song and was immensely happy. Unknown to the King, he felt the bird appreciated the golden cage and precious gems, who wouldn’t love it?
One day, the King’s Assistant was assigned to clean the cage, whilst doing so, at the most opportune moment, the bird flew out and didn’t look back. He flew to the nearest branch, he could find.
Watching all this was a parrot and the parrot was annoyed at the bird and said to him, ‘What are you thinking? You had such an amazing home, you had to just sing beautiful songs for the King and you was given a golden cage. You are an idiot for giving up those precious gems. You didn’t even take one out when you left. You have lost everything with your so-called freedom’
The bird listened and after giving some thought, he replied to the parrot, ‘You may live in the cage if you like it so much but I prefer the freedom of roaming in the sky, living day by day and being happy because I am alive.’
Before the bird was intending to finish, the parrot flew inside the cage.
The moral of this story is that we as human beings love to be caged under doctrines, repeat whatever isn’t our own experience, we bound ourselves under religion, nationality, race, gender and color. If by some chance, someone decides to be free, to tread on a path that no one is willing to walk upon, we think they are crazy. However, if we really want the Truth, if we really want enlightenment then we have to do it alone and be willing to live moment to moment, whatever it brings. Yesterday, today and tomorrow will be the same for the parrot in the gems-filled, golden cage. However, every day brings in a new possibility for the bird that found it’s freedom again.
Likewise, if we are stuck on a body level only, then we will only be subject to the laws of the physical. If we choose to let go of this cage of the mind, invest time in thinking, in inquiring about what stops us from living the truth then we can truly transcend the time and live as consciousness, a pure awareness, as the Formless.
Answer:
A bird in a golden cage
Explanation:
A bird in a golden cage
Once upon a time there was a king who heard the sweet song of a bird. A bird that was able to fly to different branches of different trees, wander in a clear blue sky or a stormy shower. It could see the whole world with its wings whenever it wanted. It enjoyed its freedom. However, the king was in love with the birdsong and wanted to hear it every morning.
The royal assistant caught the bird and placed it in a golden cage filled with diamonds and other precious stones. However, the little bird did not like the cage because it could not fly and this upset him deeply. He cried and the king thought that the bird was singing a beautiful song and was extremely happy. Unbeknownst to the king, he felt that the bird appreciated the golden cage and precious gems, who wouldn't love that?
One day, the king's assistant was tasked with cleaning the cage, when the bird flew out at the most opportune moment and did not look back. He flew to the nearest branch he could find.
There was a parrot watching all this, and the parrot was angry with the bird and said to him, 'What do you think? You had such a wonderful home, all you had to do was sing beautiful songs for the king and you were given a golden cage. You are an idiot for giving up those rare gems. You didn't even take one out when you left. You have lost everything with your so-called freedom"
The bird listened and after a moment's thought answered the parrot, "You can live in a cage if you like, but I prefer the freedom to roam the sky, live day by day and be happy because I live." .'
Before the bird intended to quit, the parrot flew into the cage.
The moral of the story is that we as human beings love to be caged under doctrines, repeating anything that is not our own experience, bound by religion, nationality, race, gender and skin color. If someone happens to decide to be free, to walk a path that no one else is willing to walk, we think they are crazy. But if we really want the Truth, if we really want enlightenment, then we have to do it ourselves and be willing to live moment by moment, whatever that brings. Yesterday, today and tomorrow will be the same for the parrot in the golden cage full of jewels. But every day brings a new possibility for the bird who has found freedom again.
Likewise, if we are stuck only on the physical level, then we will only be subject to the laws of physics. If we choose to leave this cage of the mind, to invest time in thinking, in searching for what prevents us from living the truth, then we can truly transcend time and live as consciousness, pure consciousness, as the Formless.
