There is a true power and spiritual meaning to elephants. They have feelings like us humans, and they expressed them in their kind face and their movements. In Buddhism an elephant symbolise mental strength and awakening. As we begin our journey toward enlightenment, our mind is compared to a wild grey elephant - meaning - it is unpredictably stomping down everything in its path. But, when we start to acknowledge the power of our mind, when we begin our spiritual awakening, our mind changes to a white elephant which means we are on our true life path and purpose. By having our mind in kind control we start to channelling our true human strength, our kindness, and only than we can create our own reality.
Elephants awaken in us empathy, love, kindness and strength.
