To Find an Elephant You Must Go to the Forest

Philosophical Summary

A teaching on the relationship between effort, environment, and the nature of what is sought. The hierarchy is important — the elephant is large and findable; the buffalo requires the open plains; but the most rare and beautiful creature (the heron) requires not just the right place but also sustained patience. This maps to the Eji Ogbe teaching that the greatest rewards are proportional to the depth of the search.
