It is said that the platform of realization is like the sky and different birds fly on different levels. Some just know a little bit- I'm not the body. Others fly higher- they know it in a higher way. Others are still flying higher and still knowing it higher. Different birds fly on different levels in the sky of self realization. And in this way, we, who can barely fly, we are like chickens- chickens are birds but they don't fly. A little bit- flap, flap and they come back down. But by the mercy of Mahapraabhu, even chickens can fly! You can become a flying chicken..!
