Once a group of curious people came to an intelligent man called Buddha. They asked Buddha:
“Sir, some people say that what is real is what we see with our eyes and can feel with our hands. Other people say that this is all an illusion, that our minds cannot understand what is really real. What do you say?”
Buddha told them a story similar to this one…
Four blind men were given the task of finding out what an elephant was. None of them had known an elephant before. Each one created a different story about the elephant.The first touched its tail. He said 'an elephant is a rope'. The second touched its ears – he said 'an elephant is a rug'. The third touched its leg – he said 'an elephant is a pillar'. The fourth touched its trunk – he said 'an elephant is a hose'.
The blind men started arguing. They each thought his story about the elephant was true and the only possible story to be told. They all said:
I know I am right!
I know I am right!I know I am right!
I know I am right!
After that interesting discussion they started listening to each other and their ideas about the elephant started to change.
Hose & rope
Rug, rope & pillar
Pillar& hose
Rug & hose
Finally, after some more discussion and thought, they came to only two conclusions. Two blind men agreed that the elephant was a man and the other two agreed that the elephant was a bird. So, they went all around the world trying to convince everyone that their stories were right!
Buddha concluded that all people are like the blind men because different people understand the world in different ways according to where they are coming from.
Like the blind men we keep trying to convince each other that our stories are right – that what we think or experience is what everyone else should think and experience.
But no one knows for sure what the elephant/reality REALLY looks like.
