A long time ago, there lived 6 blind men in a village. One day the villagers told him, "Hey, today an elephant has come to the village." He had only heard about elephants till today but had never felt it by touching it. They decided, "Even though we can't see the elephant, today we can all walk and feel it, right?" And then they all moved towards the place where the elephant had come.
Everyone started touching the elephant.

“I understand, an elephant is like a pillar”, said the first person, touching the elephant's foot.

"Oh no, an elephant is like a rope." The other man said while holding his tail.

“I tell you, it is like the trunk of a tree.”, said the third person, holding the trunk.

"What are you talking about, an elephant is like a big hand fan." The fourth person, touching the ear, explained to everyone.

"No-no, it's like a wall.", said the fifth person, placing his hand on his stomach.

"It is not so, an elephant is like a hard tube.", the sixth person kept his point.

And then everyone started arguing amongst themselves and started proving themselves right.

Then a wise man was passing by. He stopped and asked them, "What's the matter, why are you all quarreling with each other?"

"We are not able to decide what the elephant looks like." , he replied.

And then in turn he explained his point to that person.

The wise man listened calmly to everyone and said, "You are all right in your respective places. The difference in your description is because you all touched different parts of the elephant

But if seen, whatever you guys told, all those things fit right for the description of the elephant.

" Good !! It is so." Everyone answered together. There was no controversy after that, and everyone was happy that they were telling the truth.

Friends, many times it happens that we get stuck on our point that we are right and everything else is wrong. But it is possible that we are seeing only one side of the coin and other than that there are some facts which are true. That's why we should keep our point but also listen patiently to others, and should never get into unnecessary arguments. It is also said in the Vedas that one truth can be told in many ways. So, the next time you get into such an argument, remember that it is not that you have only the tail in your hand and the rest are with someone else.
