Be careful what you wish for
If you knew today was your last day on the Earth, how would you want to spend it?
This is the story of the elephant Kuvalayapida, the mightiest and the most ferocious among the warrior stable of elephants of the King Kansa.
When Lord Krishna and Balarama were about to enter the gates of the wrestling arena in Mathura, the rabid animal was to attack the duo and assassinate them.
The god Krishna knew, when the elephant charged, he simply snapped his powerful tusk and defeated the beast.
The mighty animal raged as it fell, finally defeated, finally free of its cruel way of life.
I think the demon elephant knew, when he charged towards the gods, that this was going to be the end.
I think the demon elephant took solace in the fact that finally, the killing and the madness would stop.
I think it is our addictions that make us and it is our addictions, that bring our downfall. The elephant lived by violence, the elephant died by violence.
So tell me then, is violence the answer?
