On the 7th of April, The President made a statement quoting the ancient Sanskrit poet Tripurari Pal. According to the poet, one should not take pride in their intelligence simply by taming an elephant, as the calm and docile nature of the animal is what allows it to accept bondage. If the elephant were to lose its modesty in a fit of anger, it could destroy everything around it. This message encourages individuals to remain humble and mindful of their actions, even if they possess great power or intelligence.
