Monday Motivation….. February 22, 2016 (263)
Once upon a time the Guru was preaching about GOD to his disciples.
Where is God?” asked one of the disciples.
“Everywhere, in everyone and everything,” said his Guru.
Later, as that disciple was going home, he saw an elephant charging towards him.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way,” shouted the Mahout (elephant-driver). “He has gone mad!”
But the disciple thought: “God is everywhere. He is in the elephant and he is in me. Would God attack God? No, therefore the elephant will not attack me.”
He stood where he was. The elephant picked him up in his trunk and flung him aside. Fortunately, he landed in a haystack and was not too badly hurt. But he was terribly shaken and confused.
When the Guru and the other disciples came to help him and take him home, he said, “You said God is in everything, but see what the elephant did to me!”
“It is true that God is in everything,” said his Guru. “He is in the elephant, but he is also in the Mahout (elephant-driver) who kept telling you to get out of the way. Why didn’t you listen to him?”

Moral:
God’s presence is continuous throughout all of creation, though it may not be revealed in the same way at the same time to people everywhere. At times, He may be actively present in a situation, while He may not reveal that He is present in another circumstance in some other area. He is there for us when needed; we just need a pure heart and clear eyes to recognise Him!
Have a nice week ahead..!
