The Child looks at the toy elephant carved from wood
The kid sees only the elephant; not the wood
A carpenter, on other hand, looks at the toy elephant
And notices only the quality of the wood
and not the figure carved
We ignorant children are aware of only Five constituent elements
and not the Lord who has manifested the world -
A Jnani (Saint) - sees only God in everything
unaware of the material world as we see it!!!
