Can you explain the analogy of the parrot in the cage that is used in Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra?

In Chapter 23, the state of the human soul is compared to a parrot living in a cage. This analogy illustrates how the soul becomes attached to its physical existence. The parrot, having lost its freedom, comes to believe its cage is a source of happiness, enjoying the pomegranate seeds and sweet chilies it is fed. It fears the world outside the cage. Similarly, the sensual soul (Kamuk) finds all its happiness in the cage of the body and its sensory pleasures, unaware of the true wonder of spiritual freedom. The chapter suggests that liberation comes only when an 'extraordinary master' or Guru arrives to apply the 'ointment' of knowledge to its eyes, freeing it from this self-imposed confinement.
