Five blind men decided to see an elephant. With their hands, they described it in five different ways.
The first, who felt the ears, said “An elephant is like a dustpan.”
The second, who grasped the trunk, said “It’s like a python.”
The third, who grabbed a leg, said, “It’s like a tree.”
The fourth, who stroked its stomach, said, “No! you are wrong. The elephant is like a wall.”
But none was able to give the true and complete description of an elephant.
This Panchtantra story explains that only he who has the total realization of God can describe the Truth.
