Guest guest Posted July 31, 1999 Report Share Posted July 31, 1999 Hello Everyone ! Swami Yogeshananda Hari OM ! RE: I tend to disregard opinions. Jody Dear Jody, Do you disregard ALL opinions, or just mine ? That sort of reminds me of the parable in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, concerning the 'opinion' of the Mahout, that it would be better, for the person NOT to go too close to the elephant....but, the person 'disregarded' the mahout's opinion and approached the beast anyway.... his Guru had told him that " God dwells in all beings, human as well as animal " So, he had no fear, went up to embrace the monster and was thrown to the ground, in short order. Bruised and shaken, he went back to his Guru, for clarification of this painful event. The Guru told him: " Yes, of course God dwells inside the elephant, but he also dwells inside the mahout. Why didn't you listen to the 'mahout god', when he told you to stay back ?
