Attachment of Lord is source of superior freedom to devotees

Only bird flies higher seeing the sunlight. The whole universe is filled in darkness without getting touch of Lord when He remains non attached
PURPORT:
What is the nature of soul? Soul is like one bird that rests in body. When soul is active the bird is living within body. But when soul takes rest the bird is like sleeping in its nest. The existence of soul in active form is similar to existence of sun in the sky. When bird sees the sunlight then it starts flying. Similarly when the soul exists within body in active spiritual form then the body acts with it spiritual energy. Then it can fly like the bird. But when the soul takes rest then the body is like dead body. It becomes inactive. Like the bird that takes rest in night. This is the simple relationship between body and soul is explained in our Vedic scripture that everybody can understand very easily. But in this verse the progress of soul is like flying higher into the spiritual sky. The soul only can progress higher when it is non attached to body. Since soul is the source of spiritual light then it can fly higher in the spiritual sky in its own light. But it can not carry its body and fly in the spiritual sky. Why? Because when it becomes body and soul together then it is inactive form similar to bird sleeping in the nest. That is the position of jiva soul with respect to its body. In that position the jiva can not fly without existence of sun and seeing sunlight. Thus sun is like the super soul who is like Lord to the jiva soul bird that is taking rest in its nest of body. If the sun who is super soul becomes non attached to the sky then it is night for every jiva soul without existence of sun in the sky. Thus when sun is attached to the sky then only sunlight is visible and birds can fly. When sun is attached in the sky then sun is not free from its attached duty. But seeing sun to be attached in sky, the birds who are jiva souls become non attached from their nest and start flying higher in the sky. Similarly, when superior force is attached to its prescribed duty with higher spiritual force then the real freedom is enjoyed by the smaller spiritual force jiva. Similarly, though water particles have natural property of viscosity that is resistance to flow but because of the engagement of superior property fluidity, the water particles enjoy its ultimate freedom by flowing in the current of water towards its ultimate destination that is Ocean. Similarly, when Lord is attached to His devotees (without being non attached) then only devotees enjoy superior freedom otherwise they themselves become attached to their body because of own natural resistance like viscosity of water particle by loosing its spiritual freedom to fly higher. Thus without attachment of Lord to devotees and His superior mercy, any devotee can not enjoy ultimate spiritual freedom in the spiritual sky of Lord. All glory to Narahari Narashima Dev! All glory to Mohaprabhu! All glory to Radha Krsna and Balaram! All glory to Prabhupada! All glory to Pancha Tattva! All glories to Brajabasi and devotees of Radha Krsna! All glory to associates devotees and Vaisnavas of Mayapur and Vrindavan! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
