Ramakrishna spent an afternoon
explaining that everything is
God.
Afterward,
one of his disciples
entered the evening traffic
in a euphoric state and
barely escaped being crushed to
death by an elephant.
He ran back to
his teacher and asked,
“Why do you say
everything’s God when just
now I was nearly killed by
an elephant?” Ramakrishna
said, “Tell me
what happened.” When the
disciple got to the point where
he heard the voice of the
elephant’s driver warning him
several times to get out of
the way,
Ramakrishna interrupted,
“That voice was God’s voice.”
