"Once a man found a young eagle in a forest and took it home and put it in his barnyard. The eagle ate the chicken feed and behaved just as chickens do. One day a naturalist friend noticed it and asked the owner why the eagle, king of all birds, was confined with the chickens. "Since I have given it chicken feed and trained it to be a chicken, it has never learned to fly," answered the man. "Still," insisted the naturalist, "it has the heart of an eagle, and certainly it can be taught to fly" Mary Robinson Reynolds..... here is the movie; http://www.EagleParableMovie.comNow back to our life, our soul comes from God and will return to God. Our body does not contain our soul and when our life ends our body will return to the world of dust. But our soul will go to the spiritual worlds of God. Conclusion; We are spiritual beings.......
"Ye are even as the bird which soareth, with the full force of its mighty wings and with complete and joyous confidence, through the immensity of the heavens, until, impelled to satisfy its hunger, it turneth longingly to the water and clay of the earth below it, and, having been entrapped in the mesh of its desire, findeth itself impotent to resume its flight to the realms whence it came. Powerless to shake off the burden weighing on its sullied wings, that bird, hitherto an inmate of the heavens, is now forced to seek a dwelling-place upon the dust. Wherefore, O My servants, defile not your wings with the clay of waywardness and vain desires, and suffer them not to be stained with the dust of envy and hate, that ye may not be hindered from soaring in the heavens of My divine knowledge." Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh
