Acharya Prashant explains that when one comes upon something beautiful, one must try to understand it, which is the true meaning of watching. He distinguishes this from merely glancing, which is what the worldly, engaged bird does. To look is to understand. If one is looking but not understanding, it means something within is trying to avoid. It is possible to look at someone or something for years or even decades and remain a total stranger to their reality. This is likened to people who read holy books their entire lives but understand nothing, as the teachings do not manifest in their lives. Similarly, one can look at the savior bird for a long time without gaining any real closeness because one never truly understands, focusing only on external aspects like actions, words, and fluff, rather than the secret core. The speaker warns that it is very probable for people to be physically close to the truth but unimaginably far from it. This is because something within us does not want to acknowledge the truth, as the truth is so poignant that it will melt our falseness. When one truly looks at the truth, there is not just illumination but also a deep pathos, a humiliation, and a recognition of suffering. The savior bird sits on the same branch as the worldly bird not for the fruit, but to oversee with no purpose of her own. This act of witnessing is described as love and compassion, where the witness knowingly inflicts suffering upon herself for the sake of her sister bird. To look more carefully, one must not allow logic to run amok or the mind to jump to quick, cheap conclusions. The worldly bird's logic is, "She looks like me, so she must behave and desire like me." One must not assume or imagine, but seek to know. The ego, being fragile, loves certainty and rushes to conclusions. Our relationship with the Truth is flawed because the only truth we accept is our own ego, so we project that even the Truth must be like our ego. We have narrated the lives of saints and prophets as decorated shadows of our own lives, instead of trying to see their truth.
