“This is our state too — death is near, yet though God offers freedom from samsāra,
we stay lost in the sweetness of fleeting worldly pleasures.”
This teaching reminds us that every joy of the material world is impermanent, just like those honey drops. While time (the rats) and death (the elephant) are certain, most humans ignore the Divine call for liberation, preferring small tastes of worldly joy.
Across the timeless scriptures of Bharat, seers expressed the deepest truths through simple stories. Parables of Samsara reveals these ancient allegories — from the man clinging to a tree to the lamp in a windless place — each showing the journey of the soul from illusion to liberation. These are not tales of the past, but mirrors for our own awakening — from seeking outside to finding peace within.
