Hare Krishna, dear Maharaj and prabhus

PAMHO

 

Maybe it is the following quote

 

VI-viii-1: Once Uddalaka Aruni said to his son Svetaketu, ‘Dear boy, know from

me the true nature of sleep. When a man is said to be sleeping, then, dear boy,

he has become united with Being and has attained his own nature. Hence people

speak of him as sleeping, for them he has attained his own nature.

VI-viii-2: ‘Just as a bird tied to a string, after flying in various directions

and finding no resting place elsewhere, takes refuge at the very place where to

it is tied, even so, dear boy, that mind, after flying in various directions

and finding no resting place elsewhere, takes refuge in Prana alone; for the

mind, dear boy, is tied to Prana.

The translations might be a bit impersonalistic but even then, the Vaisnavas can

understand the Upanisads from a proper perspective.

Bhakti Vikasa Swami <Bhakti.Vikasa.Swami wrote: Sometimes

so-called scholars, distraught after many years of impersonal

speculation and enjoyment of materialistic life, become fearful and anxious.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati compares such disturbed philosophers to the

bound vulture in the Chandogya Upanisad.

What is the analogy of the bound vulture from the Chandogya Upanisad?
