How does the text use metaphors like a whirlpool and a parrot to describe the human condition and its entanglements?

Chapter 17 employs powerful metaphors to illustrate the challenges of human existence. It describes life as a "whirlpool of children, friends, and wife, filled with the crocodiles of lust and anger," where one is agitated by the waves of hope. To explain our spiritual ignorance, the text compares a person to a "parrot tied to a tube," suggesting we have become bound by our physical bodies. This bondage, caused by the illusion of Maya, makes us forget our true, free nature, and the text urges us to break free and fly high like the parrot.
