What is this thing called the existence? Is it all the things that we perceive it to be? Or is it something else? It's a gift. One of my favorite examples is the bird in the cage. You may think that you own the bird inside the cage, but you're wrong. You only own the cage. People think that they need to have a very fancy cage, that the more incredible the cage, the more incredible the bird will look. But the cage and the bird are really two different things. When the bird is gone, all that will be left is the cage.

 
Maharaji (Prem Rawat)
 

He bought a bird in its own cage, with a sheet over it so no one could see the bird and the bird couldn't see anyone, and the whole thing was a secret bird... Everything he said was tinged with the unreadability of someone who would bring a bird on cruise ship.

 
Daniel Handler
 

One does not care for the cage when the bird has flown away from it. and when the bird of life flies away, no one cares for the body left behind.

 
Ramakrishna
 

A cage went in search of a bird.

 
Franz Kafka
 

A forest bird never wants a cage.
