A trickster pupil wished to test his venerable Sage-Guru by letting lose a raging elephant to see if his master would stand in the path confident in the illusory nature of reality, or flee in fear like a petty man. He let loose this elephant and it went charging towards his Guru who lept up a tree as quickly as an ape..
The student-King believed that his Guru must have been aware that the elephant was of a purely illusory, phenomenal character. The Sage replied, 'Indeed, in highest truth, the elephant is non-real. Nevertheless, you and I are as non-real as that elephant. Only your ignorance, clouding the truth with this spectacle of non-real phenomenality, made you see the phenomenal me go up a non-real tree."
