Once a holy man spoke to his disciples about the presence of God.He said”plants,animals,humans…all have God present in them”.One of the disciples was really inspired by the discourse.he thought”wah!wah!what noble thoughts the Mahatma has.”Just then,some villagers dashed past,shouting”run!run!a mad elephant is heading this way!””quick….quick…..run…!”.So,the disciple thought”mad elephant indeed……these fools don’t know that god is present in the elephant,in me….””what harm will he do to me”.The elephant was mad and was coming towards the disciple.The disciple screamed”hey…hey….God in the elephant… stop..stop…I say”.the elephant was in no mood to listen to anyone.The disciple was knocked off by the elephant and was trampled.He thought”oh!what a fool I was….to believe Mahatma.There is no God in this wily creature”.Badly bruised,the disciple went back to the master.He said”some villagers came saying that a mad elephant was on its way….you said there was God in animals so I stood before the elephant but the elephant trampled all over me….you were wrong.there is no God in us,the animals,the plants……see…I am badly bruised.I was a fool to believe you…”.The mahatma said”son,you believed that God was in the elephant and so it would not trample you.Good.Now if only you believed that God was in the villagers too and were trying to warn you?”.

Incomplete understanding and improper understanding can prove very futile.We should think and worry about our safety first.
