Sansar Darshan is a beautiful parable and visualizes our current worldly situation.

One businessman went out to sea with a shipful of goods. But fate was such that during night a hurricane came across, with high waves, wind and black clouds. He got scared of the dangerous situation he was in. With continuous big waves and rain, the ship couldn't take the beating and broke down. The businessman almost went unconscious.

Morning time. It was lucky for him that he was able to reach ashore with help of a wooden board. His body regained some strength with the sunlight. Who am I? where am I? What work I do ? For what reasons has he left home? All of this he forgot when he got conscious. He didn't even realize he got a new life. He got himself up and took to a direction, looking for help. Suddenly behind him he heard extremely loud animal shouting, he turned his head and saw a black,big elephant charging at him. He started shouting and running, help me god! help me god! How good it would be if he remembered god's name when the times were good, but now he has no hope except to run. He ran with all his might but elephant got very close to him. He gave all hope and thought that he would die now.

Suddenly a godly voice said "because you have taken lord's name, your call wont get unanswered" , instantly he found himself facing a huge tree. He ran to the tree and climbed up the branches.

Elephant got really mad, and since businessman went up the tree, elephant started shaking the tree. Businessman got scared again, he didn't have any options. He started thinking that no-one can save him now, God! Will i leave this world without seeing anything and eating anything?! Godly voice said "Lord's name doesn't go empty, lift your head and look" He looked up and saw a bee's nest, dripping with honey. He opened his mouth to take taste and lost his ability to think, such was the sweetness of honey drops. He forgot elephant still shaking the tree and also forgot to take gods name. Only thing he could think of was taking taste of one more honey drop.
