How does the analogy of the parrot in the cage, mentioned in Chapter 23, relate to the human soul's condition?

Chapter 23 uses the powerful analogy of a parrot in a cage to illustrate the human soul's delusion by Maya. The chapter begins by stating that the soul forgets its true nature and becomes attached to the body, thinking "I am the doer, I am the enjoyer." The parrot analogy, found later in the chapter, mirrors this predicament. The parrot, though captive, considers its cage with golden bars to be a source of happiness and security, fearing the freedom outside. It has lost the wonder of freedom and finds contentment in its dependence. According to Chapter 23, the sensual soul is just like this parrot, finding all its happiness within the confines of the body and worldly pleasures, unaware of the true liberation that lies beyond its self-imposed prison.
