BIRDS

Just like when a bird flies in the sky, so he has to leave behind him everything, and he has to fly in the sky on his own strength.

There is no other help.

Why bird?

Take these airplanes, jet planes.

When we get on the sky, leaving this land, no more we can depend on our strength on the land.

If the plane is sufficiently strong, then we can fly; otherwise there is danger.

***

Just like a flock of birds -- although very intimately related, everyone of them has to fly in the sky by individual strength.

If one is less strong, the other cannot keep him in the sky.

That is the law of nature.

So long everyone of us is strong in Krishna Consciousness, there is no doubt, you can fly in the spiritual sky and meet together without failure.

Therefore, individual strength is most important.

And that individual strength is achieved in the association of devotees also.

***

We are thinking, "My family, my wife, my children, my society men, my nation will give me protection."

No.

Nobody can give you protection.

It is false hope.

Just like the birds, when they fly in the sky, everyone has to take his own care.

Nobody can help anyone.

One can help only in Krsna consciousness.

Not in the material way.

- Srila Prabhupada
