God Is Within Every Living Thing-Shri Ram Krishna Parmahans

Once the great saint Shri Ram Krishna Parmahans told a story to his disciples-A religious teacher preached to his disciples that –“God is within every living thing of this world”. After sometime a disciple of the teacher, who had trust on the teacher, was passing through the forest. A nervous, frightened man who was running in the opposite direction of the disciple came across the disciple, and shouted ‘run away run away, change your direction, as a mad angry elephant is coming towards you, it may hurt/kill you. But the disciple thought, if his teacher has told that the God is there within me as well as within the Elephant, then how can the Elephant hurt him. He ignored the suggestion of the the shouting man and kept on walking in the same direction. Soon after the mad Elephant reached to him, hurt him , threw him beside the walkway and fled. The disciple became sad ,went back to his teacher , told him about the occurrence and asked why he preached wrong, if the God does not exists in the Elephant. The teacher smiled and said to him” My dear son the God exists within the Elephant, in you and also in the person who was shouting and stopping you from going near to the Elephant. Why did not you follow him, when the God had already warned you earlier through the shouting man?.................lol………………….
