BRAHMAN

A mahout was riding on the back of his elephant when it suddenly became mad and started running down the street. He shouted and shouted to warn people to go out of the way. One man would not move away, however the mahout shouted. He was pushed aside by the elephant and was wounded. Eventually the mahout managed to calm down the elephant and tied him down in its place. He went back to see the man the elephant had thrown to the side of the road. To the mahout’s relief the man was only slightly wounded. He asked the man why he hadn’t moved away in spite of all his shouting. The man answered the mahout, “The elephant is the Brahman.” Then the mahout asked him, “If you see the Brahman in the elephant, why don’t you see the Brahman in me, who is shouting to rescue you.”

Half knowledge is always dangerous.
