Birds' Moral sense

Crow in a cage:  a Crow that was being housed in a cage in the Bannerghatta shelter, used to elicit a strong response from other Crows that would rummage the garden.

Change whom?

Either in the world we see Mullas, sadhus restrain the worldly life and company of worldly people, to which they could benefit.

Commitment to change the world is Spurious (false) and fidelity (loyalty) is self change. No man can change the world, one can change himself alone. -MAQM
