SUMMARY: The insect forgets its insect-feeling and assumes the form of a flying wasp that is reminiscent of its original form of an insect. Similarly, short-lived ordinary beings cross the woods of family/worldly life by meditating on Lord Sri Hari, the enemy of demon Kaitabha and attain the salvation in Vaikuntha.

It is a known fact that a type of insect gets caught by wasp, which brings up the insect by protecting it in its own nest. Initially, the insect gets angry for getting caught by the wasp but as the days pass by, it develops affection towards the wasp as the wasp provides the insect with food and rears the insect. The insect starts thinking about the wasp continuously and as a result it develops into a big wasp and starts flying like another wasp. Similarly, human beings who may despise the Lord for so many reasons, for the troubles and turmoil of worldly life, would attain salvation by incessant devotion and meditation of Lord Hari.

This is a very realistic and universally true metaphor employed by Sri Jagannatha Dasaru by comparing the life of human beings to that of insect and then their attainment of salvation to the metamorphosis of insect into wasp. Elaboration of this description is found in Bhagavata:
