FOUR BLIND MEN AND AN ELEPHANT

in #krishna6 years ago (edited)

Perspective helps to us not to get caught up in the details.
Why the teachings of Jesus and that of Srila Prabhupada considered together are so valuable.
They are very different in many ways.

Perspective. To be able to find the essence. The big picture. The goal of it all.
To enter into the spiritual world and live in the pastimes of the Lord, which are eternal, blissful and full of knowledge. The form of the Lord...

There is a story illustration to get the idea of what happens when there is no perspective.
Four blind men and an elephant:

One man touches the snout and proclaims he understands what an elephant is like, "It is like a snake."
Another man touches the leg and argues... "No. Not at all. An elephant is like a tree trunk."
The third man slaps the side and tells them, "You are both wrong. An elephant is like leather."
The fourth man grabs the end of the tail and is sure he has understood, "It is really like a little mouse."
