The soul within our body is like a bird within a cage

In human society there must be a proper balance between spirit and matter. We are actually spirit souls...encaged within material bodies. A civilization that simply looks after bodily necessities and does not care for the necessities of the soul is a foolish, unbalanced civilization. If one only takes care of the cage, how can the bird within it be happy.

(Srila Prabhupada, 1978)
