yah prapya manusam lokam

 mukti-dvaram apavrtam

grhesu khaga-vat saktas

 tam arudha-cyutam viduh

 

Translation: 

 

The doors of liberation are opened wide to one who has achieved human life. But if a human being simply devotes himself to family life like the foolish bird in this story, then he is to be considered as one who has climbed to a high place only to trip and fall down.

 

Purport: 

 

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Eleventh Canto, Seventh Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Lord Krsna Instructs Uddhava.”
