Lila Amrit - Story of birds
A divine play demonstrates a master's power and a disciple's transformation. A disciple hides a dead bird from the approaching master. The master immediately knows the hidden truth. He states that those dependent on the bird will now starve. He instructs the disciple to bring a cart. The disciple then thanks the master for revealing a profound sign. The disciple vows to never hunt again. The story illustrates the impossibility of concealment from a true guide. It shows compassion extending to all creatures. The lesson leads to a complete renunciation of harmful action.
"Those who are waiting for them will now die of hunger. Bring me the cart."
"Thank you for showing me the excellent mark. I will never hunt again."
