More Description"There are two birds, two sweet friends, who dwell in the selfsame tree," says the ancient Indian scripture, the Upanishads. The first bird, dwelling on the lower part of the tree, is unable to see beyond the branches and compulsively indulges its appetites. The other bird, higher up, sees the wider world.
