The dispute between the Muslim the Zoroastrian and the Jew derives from their many different points of view (Which burs the truth). The dispute between the Muslim the Zoroastrian and the Jew derives from this perspective: An elephant was placed in a dark room for exhibition. Crowds of people went in to see it. Finding their eyes could not penetrate the darkness, each felt with his palm. The one who felt the trunk said: this creature is like a water spout. The one that felt the elephants ear said the beast is evidently like a fan. Another ran his hand down its leg and said: To me the elephant's shape is like a pillar. Another laid his hand on its back. Certainly this elephant is like a throne, he said. If each had held a candle these differences would have disappeared. The sensual eye is just like the palm of the hand. The palm cannot cover the whole of the animal. |
