TPHE Vedas
speak of the Homa bird. It lives very
high in
the sky. There the mother bird lays her egg.
She lives
so high that the egg falls for many days.
While
falling it is hatched. The chick continues to
fall. That
also goes on for many days. In the
meantime
the chick develops eyes. Coming near
the earth,
it becomes conscious of the world. It
realises
it will meet certain death if it hits the
ground.
Then it gives a shrill cry and shoots up
towards
its mother. The earth means death, and it
frightens
the young bird; it then seeks its mother.
She dwells
high up in the sky, and the young bird
shoots
straight up in that direction. It doesn't look
anywhere
else.
Persons
who are born with God-consciousness
realise
the danger of coming in contact with the
world.
From their very childhood they are afraid of
the world,
and their one thought is how to reach
the
mother, how to realise God.
