Blinde Mannen en de Olifant

Blinde Mannen en de Olifant

De Blinde Mannen en de Olifant is een beroemde fabel uit India. Het gaat over zes blinde reizigers die op hun levensweg tegen verschillende delen van een olifant aanlopen. Elke blinde man schept vervolgens zijn eigen versie van de realiteit, gebaseerd op zijn eigen beperkte ervaring en perspectief. In filosofische kringen over de hele wereld is "De Blinde Mannen en de Olifant" een boegbeeld geworden van moreel relativisme en religieuze tolerantie.


Maar wijst deze voorstelling van de blinde mannen en de olifant immers niet naar iets dat nog groter is: de olifant zelf? Als we weten dat de Hele Olifant zich daarbuiten bevindt, zou dit ons dan niet moeten aanzetten om onze ogen wijder te openen en om elke gelegenheid aan te grijpen om meer van Hem te ervaren?
