Rahman BabaIf the partridge didn't call at the wrong moment, Neither the hunter nor the falcon would know of it. It follows from this point also, That everyone's voice betrays him.
About This Quote
The partridge calls at the wrong moment; the hunter who hears it, knows of it; but the falcon, who sees it, has no idea. This point is another of those which cannot be misunderstood. The bird sings at the wrong time, because when its notes are heard by you, they are not in your mind. Your mind does not think of them when they are in the air, therefore you hear them at the wrong time. But when they are in your mind, then they sing in their natural place and no one hears them except yourself.
