Description

Acharya Prashant interprets Kabir Saheb's imagery of God as a cage and the individual as a parrot. He explains that while a cage is traditionally associated with slavery, in this spiritual context, it represents a foolproof container or a vast space like the sky that completely envelopes everything. Unlike a small metallic cage that restricts, the 'cage' of Truth or God is infinitely vast, meaning one can never reach its boundaries or escape its presence. This vastness is our true nature, characterized by a stillness that remains untouched by the movement and activity occurring within it.
