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.”
