The parable of the blind men and an elephant is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then describe the elephant based on their limited experience and their descriptions of the elephant are different from each other. In some versions, they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they come to blows. The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences which may be equally true.

Now, as human beings we each of us have such an infinitesimally small perspective on the Sum Total of All Being that it’s ludicrous to claim to know the complete picture, and you’re wise to ignore anyone who makes that claim. That doesn’t in any way negate that The Sum Total of All Being actually does exist.
