In short, the identification of 'I' with physical body, puts the person in the cage. The bird inside the cage, the soul, has not been given attention. All the care is taken of the cage. The body is beautified, it is given beautiful clothes, looks become important, bodily comforts take the center stage. Money all of sudden assumes great importance because all body comforts can be bought with money. The total attention is diverted from the bird to the cage.

However, no bird can be happy even in a golden cage decorated with diamond, pearls and jewels. Bird wants freedom from cage. It wants its happiness which not there in the cage.

In exactly similar way although after having all physical comforts, no one happy in real sense. Boredom, tension, urge to have more sexual satisfaction, urge to have more delicacies to satisfy tongue, urge to seek praise from others, urge to visit beautiful places on the rise. There is no end to desires and therefore there is no end to the problems arising out of efforts needed to satisfy those desire.

The bird - the soul - that resides in body is not happy with the cage of the physical body. It wants freedom. It wants its own happiness that is divine. Attention must be paid to the soul and not to the physical body. Thus the first goal of infinite life is not far away if identification of 'I' is made with Soul..
