Kalis strategy – Quarrel & Hypocrisy - United We Stand, Divided We Fall
A bird hunter used to capture groups of quails by throwing a net over them. The leader of the flock made a plan: “If this hunter throws his net over a group of you, each of you put a wing out through the net and flap it in unison with the rest. That way you can fly away net. Then you descend into a thorn tree and entangle the net there and slip away.” So all this was done. The hunter could not catch quail for many days, and his wife complained bitterly. The hunter told her not to worry, that the unity of the quails would not last. And so it was to be: once while feeding, one quail stepped on the head of another and they began to argue. Other quails joined in the argument, and it ended with each saying to the others, “Next time you can free yourself from the net – I won’t lift a wing to help you.” So when the hunter whistled like a quail and the birds gathered and had the net flung over them, they refused to act in unison just to spite the others. Thus the hunter caught them all.
Note:
In the age of Quarrel & Hypocrisy, these are two strategies of Kali through which it enters our life and creates rift among devotees and then tries to defeat them by putting them out of their path to spiritual progress.
Quarrel creates drift among devotees and hypocrisy kills the last leg of Dharma that is truthfulness.
Fight Maya Avoid Kali
