There is a similar Hindu story like this...

A young boy goes to a guru, deep in the forest, to learn about God. Many years later he know the secret...he is God, We are all God. He takes leave of his Guru, and head back to city life. On the way, on his path, way down the path...he sees an elephant. The elephant is on the path too...walking towards him.

He says to himself, "I am God, the elephant will get out of the way." The elephant tumphants, and the man does not move...both heading towards each other. Eventually, the elephant tramples the man, and the man hobbles back to the Guru.

"But", he said to the guru, "you said I was God." The guru looked up at him and said, "Why did you not recognize God in everything else. He told you to move too."

Thank you both for replying to my post.

JustaDumbBlonde, I do like the joke also, and it hits home with a lot of people.

USMMA_83, that's a neat twist on the joke also, with a lesson there too.
