Some people who never had seen an elephant were gathered outside a huge room. Today they would get to see an elephant, albeit in the dark, and come out and describe the elephant. They would enter the dark room one at a time, touch and feel the elephant, come out and describe the elephant.

Person one entered in the dark room - he happened to fumble his hand over the elephant's leg, touched it, stroked it, felt it. He came out and said - An elephant is like a pillar! a strong powerful pillar. Nothing else.

The second person entered - he touched and felt the tail of the elephant. He came out and announced that 'elephant is like a rope'.

The third one went inside - his hands gripped the trunk. He stroked it with his hands, came out and said 'elephant is like a garden hose pipe, a big hose pipe'.

Now it was the turn of the fourth person, he went inside and his hands fell on the elephant's ear. He later said that the elephant is like a hand fan! a giant hand fan in fact.

The fifth person came in, touched the stomach of the elephant, felt it and stroked it with his hands. He said 'elephant is like a wide, strong and sturdy wall'.

The sixth one hurried inside. He lay his hands on the elephant's back and stroked his hands back and forth over it. He came out and declared - elephant is like a wide throne!

Similarly, we humans are not able to see God completely with the limitations of our 5 sense of organs. We are like these very men who could not fathom the complete picture due to the limitation of their senses.

This short story is written by Maulana Mohammad Jalaluddin Rumi, the great Persian sufi who wrote the longest mystical poem 'Masnavi'.
