Summary
This article presents a proving of elephant milk. The elephant is one of the oldest,
greatest, most universal and awe inspiring of metaphors with which mankind has been
confronted. The fact that elephants are remarkable is recognized by all cultures which
are familiar with them. No other animal has aroused so much fantasy or has been so
popular. They are unique, not only because of their appearance and their special and
most important tool, the trunk, but particularly because of their social and mental
abilities. Elephants represent the best character traits. They embody that for which
every human being deeply wishes, and all religions and great spiritual leaders have
called upon: wisdom, dignity, compassion and a peace-loving nature.
