1. 6 Blind Men and the Elephant
"The Blind Men and the Elephant", on a fable that was told in India many years ago.
It is a good warning about how our sensory perceptions can lead to misinterpretations.
By Deepak Soni

They have a heated debate that does not come to physical violence. But in Saxe's version, the conflict is never resolved
CONCLUSION
They conclude that the elephant is like a wall, snake, spear, tree, fan or rope, depending upon where they touch.

10. The story is seen as a metaphor in many disciplines, being pressed into service as an analogy in fields well beyond the
traditional.
We believe this element of Self-reference in the many interpretations of the story, and its function as a teaching story: -
People address themselves to this story in one or more interpretations. They then accept or reject them. Now they
can feel happy; they have arrived at an opinion about the matter.
According to their conditioning they produce the answer. Now look at their answers. Some will say that this is a fascinating
and touching allegory of the presence of God. Others will say that it is showing people how stupid mankind can be.
Some say it is anti-scholastic. Others that it is just a tale copied from Rumi-Sanai – and list goes on and on.

So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an
Elephant Not one of them has seen!

truth. At various times the parable has provided insight into the relativism, opaqueness
or inexpressible nature of truth, etc.
Therefore, the behavior of experts in fields or Leader should be:- when there
is a deficit or inaccessibility of information or confusion arose. Then need for
communication arises and leader should listen to the views of their subordinate as well
respect for their different perspectives. Because moral is
