Sometimes
you could see by feeling so Bhagwan could let us see and picture
it in their minds to see what it looks like. This is how Bhagwan
grants us anothe pair of eyes.It says in the Bhaktachintamani "Tamaraa
prataap taki andne Aakho jade". Bhagawan told us this we should
follow it and accept the consequences given by Bhagawan. One day
he will help us see through the darkness to Akshardham. Jai Swaminarayan

I
think that the moral of this story is that in order to get the whole
picture or a complete idea, you must consider everyone's input or
view. You can't rely on yourself only because their are lots of
different ways to look at things. Listen to everyone and let them
have their say because everyone on the earth is equal. Don't just
think, "that person is a freak of nature, what can he possibly
say that is of any use?" By piecing everyone's input together,
a clear and complete picture will be produced.

The
moral of this story is that you sould look at any situation in
everyones point of veiw, not just yours or one persons. For example,
when a quarrel happens, it is good to look at everyones side.

the
moral of the story is that if all the men had put what they thought
of the elephant together then maybe they could have found out
it was an elephant. If we all come together with our ideas thn
we can make a good one and will benefit from it.

The
moral of the story is that we are like those blind men who can
not see the real image of God and Pramukhswami maharaj because
our eyes sights are filled up with maya and materialistic things.

From
this story we learn that we are just like these blind men bcause
sometimes we take decisions without knowing the facts, meaning
without knowing the truth. For example we may judge that someone
is not nice just after meeting them once.But after we come to
know a bit more about them you actually start getting quite fond
of the same person you didn't like before. Before we continue
making the same mistakes we should try to get the whole picture.

The
moral of the story is... The four blind men in this story had
a different view of the elephant. In the same way, we have different
views of Bhagwan.Some say he is like this, others say he is like
that.But when we get the big picture, that is when we realise
the true identity of Bhagwan.So we should all try to get the big
picture.

The
moral of this story is that everybody sees things in a diffrent
way and if you think one thing someone else will see something
else but that does not mean you are wrong or even right. To sum
up everybody sees diffrent things because everybody is different

The
moral of this story is that one who has seen the atma through
the sense organs and mind cannot be said to have completely seen
the atma. It is only when one comes into contact with an enlightened
sadhu that true atma darshan,seeing the atma, is possible. Else
it can be compared to the four blind men who "saw" the
elephant and yet didn't. -Yogiji Maharaj

The
moral of the story is that since everybody sees things in a different
way, it is better to share your ideas. You can put it all together
and you'll have a solution. So teamwork is very important and
that is why if you work as a team, you usually turn out to be
successful because of the many ideas and different points of view.
Akata Patel (13)

The
moral of this story is that people have different thoughts of
what they feel and think. So in their own way they have their
opinions, which are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. They
can't see the object so they feel it and they describe it in their
own way. So basically they would be considered right but only
partially. So just because you have a thought that is different
that the others doesn't mean it is completely wrong.
Naiya Patel (12)

The
moral of the story is apperance vs. reality. This means what you
see isn't always what it comes out to be. That means that the
blind man thought of different things that the creature could
be, but it came out to be really different from all of the thoughts
and it came out to be an elephant. Another word is that what you
expect doesn't always come out right.

We
all are getting message different ways eventhough it is given
at the same time and same place we all have different thinking
so we believe what we want to .The essence of this story is that
even if one understands in ones own way we should take guidance
from elderly and saints like Pramukhswamimaharaj and makes us
more knowledgable in the field we have limited knowladge Jai

One
who has seen the atma through the sense organs and mind canont
be said to have completely seen the atma. It is only when one
comes into contact with an Enlightened Sadhu that true atma darshan-visualization
of the atma-is possible. Else it can be compared to the four blind
men who 'saw' the elephant and yet didn't

The
moral of the story is that if you do not have the knowledge of
what you are trying to learn then you will never grasp the actual
meaning. Just as the men didnt know what an elephant was because
they never saw one, they couldnt tell that what they bumped into
was an elephant. in satsang as well we should know what we are
talking about. we cant experience the true love of Maharaj without
knowing Him. By paying attention in Bal sabha, we can gain knowledge
to better ourselvs as well as keep our satsang in the next generations
forever to come and pass it on to people who arent fortunate to
have the ability to know bout the Swaminarayan religion. Jai Swaminaryan.

The
moral of this story is that as the four blind men only knew partially
what the being was that had crossed them. Sometimes we know things
partially right and have some idea not the full picture.So we
should make sure we examine the full picture not a part.

i
think the moral is even though you are blind or deaf you can still
find out what the object is or what the person is trying to say.
if you all work as a team then you will find out what that objrct
is. you should always talk things through first. just remember
you are never alone

The

The
moral of the story is with determintation and the ability to use
cooperation and teamwork one shall accomplish anything and everythin
that comes in his/her way. Similary we can all progress oursleves
in satsang by helping others to progress in stasang, by working
together everyone can become ADARSH balikas/balaks. By improving
ones self your just are one step closer to success and Bapas rajipo!

need to get to know the bigger picture of god or you won't go

The
moral of this story is that everyone has a different opinion abut
everything, but the main thing is that you should go for the big
not for the little. It will be more helpful to you if you know
what you need to know, not only the liitle stuff.

The
story shows how if we don't have teamwork and unity, nothing is
accomplished. From the story, each blind men did a good job describing
various parts, but they couldn't put the pieces together. If they
did work together, they could have gotten the whole picture. That
is how we should have unity between our satsangis.
