Presence of God
Guru Govind Singh was preaching that God is present inside everyone and inside every creature. His students were listening to this. Amongst them, one thought that he must check the truthness of line. As he was passing, he saw an elephant which was totally lost control of his mahout. Mahout was struggling to control and make elephant to listen to his words.
At that time, this student came on way. He saw the elephant. He thought God is inside the elephant and also God is inside him. So, God wont fight with himself. He thought like this, went near elephant. By seeing this, mahout was horrified.
He yelled that elephant is in angry mood. It may hurt the man if he come infront of it. But student didnt listen to mahout. He went near elephant. Elephant was angry by seeing this fellow. It threw him aside by its trunk. Student got badly hurt.
He came near his master with pain and said him that he gave false lectures. Guru Govind Singh listened to everything and said "Why didnt you listen to God inside mahout? God was giving warning to you. But you neglected it and hurt yourself".
Student realised along with belief in God, commonsense is also required.
Excellent. God is a great reservoir and IN HIM and FROM HIM we derive every lessons/warnings/etc. We must develop the discriminating power between what is good and what is bad. This comes from listening to parents, gurus and be in satsangh and meditation
