Saints and disciples.

 It occurred a long time ago. In a city, a saint used to live his hermitage and lived with his disciples.He used to preach to his disciples every day. One day he told his disciples that all beings have God And if we see the nature of God in all our lives, then he can never harm us. After listening to his sermon, one of his disciples was going somewhere. Just then, he saw an elephant running from the front, on which his mahout (An elephant driver) was sitting. The elephant's mahout (An elephant driver) was screaming loudly, get out of the front, this elephant has gone mad.

The disciple thought that Saint  says that God resides in everything. Today if I see God even in such an elephant, it will not harm me. Thinking this, he stood in front of the mad elephant. The mad elephant came running to the disciple and wrapped it in his trunk and threw it aside. The disciple was badly injured after some people rushed him to the hospital. The saint came to see him while he was lying in bed in an injured state.

The disciple narrated the entire account of his injuries to the saint. The saint lovingly placed his hand on the head of the disciple and said that you have not done my preaching in the right way. I told you that God has to be seen in all creatures But you only saw the mad elephant and did not see God in the mahavat (an elephant driver) sitting on top of it, which was asking you to move away from the elephant.

Then the disciple realized his mistake and he confessed to the saint.
