    The document describes the process an aging eagle goes through to renew itself. As it reaches its 40s, its talons can no longer grab prey and its beak becomes bent. Its heavy, thick feathers make flying difficult. The eagle has two options: die or go through a 150 day process of renewal. It flies to a mountain top, knocks its beak against a rock to remove it, waits for a new beak, and removes its talons. When new talons grow, it removes its old feathers. After 5 months, it takes a flight of rebirth and lives another 30 years, renewed. The document compares this process to Arjuna's renewal in the Bhagavad Gita

    THE EAGLE
    LESSON
    The eagle has the longest life-
    span of its' species It can live up
    to 70 years …

    But to reach this age, the  eagle


    must make a hard decision in its'
    40’s…
    Its' long and flexible talons can no
    longer grab prey which serves as
    food
    Its' long and sharp beak becomes
    bent
    Its' old-aged and
    heavy wings, due to
    their thick feathers,
    become stuck to its'
    chest and make it
    difficult to fly
    Then,  the eagle is
    left with only two
    options;

    DIE
    or
    Go through a
    painful process of
    change which lasts
    150 days.
    The process
    requires that the
    eagle fly to a
    mountain top and
    sit on its' nest
    There the eagle knocks
    its' beak against a rock
    until it plucks it out
    After plucking it out, the
    eagle will wait for a new
    beak to grow back and
    then it will pluck out its'
    talons
    When its' new talons grow back, the eagle
    starts plucking its' old-aged feathers
    And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of rebirth and lives for ...
    30 more years
    Arjuna’s
    change
    process
