This story is about Bhakti / devotion - one of the most beautiful feelings in the world.
It means loving something deeply, purely, and gently.
Bhakti is not about following processes in a specific order.
It is a small act of kindness, a soft “thank you,” or a simple bow that is more than enough.
Just as Kesavan showed, devotion is present in everyone, including an elephant, and they express it in different ways.
