The quote refers to the relationship between the possessor and the possessed object. The gun is the decisive factor / tool that determines the imprisonment of the possessed object. The irony is that no matter how harsh the strings that the 'master' ties the object of possession with are, the object can only be possessed in physical parameters. Masters may want to get to the bottom of their 'objects', reach their true essence and destroy it because that's what possession means in its purest form. But the ultimate revenge of the slave is that none of the possibilities that the masters dispose of can get to the self inside the body.
I don't know if the quote can be found in situations of my life though. There were moments when social groups dominated me - not physically, but morally. My first reaction was to give in to the pressure and influence, but the influence actually proved to be a favorable factor for my progress and inner development.
The truth is that the body is an easy cloth to dominate. True mastery skills can penetrate the surface of the body, get through the mental shield and grasp the core of the individual.

As a woman I can give birth, I don't necessarily have to be a "mother". Giving birth and being a mother are as different as the gun (the woman) and the bird (the birth).

Desire and fulfillment...
As one enables and allows me to envision, imagine and accept as a potential acquirement ...and the other is completion of intent, actuality of potential- and the "ownership" of that which is of substance, tangible and palpable.
That's an awesome question you got there... I'm "starring" that one!
I dig it, it took some thinking and I love that and so rarely come across them EVEN in the philosophy forum.
Thanks for the chance to respond.

Let's see... the gun symbolizes someone who forces us to do things against our will; therefore, we are only bounded to that person physically. We are, by no means, bounded to that person spiritually and that is what is being symbolized by the bird. A bird can be caged but it will always have the desire to be free.
So far, it is not yet applicable to me. I have never been forced yet to do something against my will. :-)

Wow, this one stumps me utterly.
Sounds like "I know why the caged brid sings."
The things of this corporeal world are not equal to those of spirit?

Hmmmm....interesting one. I think it means that you might have the thing that controls what you want, and you can make it do what you want, but not willingly.
