Big elephant cannot go against the waves of the sea even though he's so strong
Danavir Goswami: One time we were on the beach walking like this and the crabs were going out, and the crabs were running into the water as it was coming in. So Prabhupada indicated that they had a relationship. And he was explaining that a big elephant cannot go against the waves of the sea even though he's so strong, but a little fish can swim out against the waves and the reason is because the fish has an intimate relationship with the sea. So in the same way a devotee, he can surpass all others because of his intimate relationship with Krishna. He can do things that non-devotees cannot accomplish.
