Once , there was an elephant going from Mysore to Bangalore. It stopped at a lake to drink some water. At that time an ant got on its trunk. The elephant restarted its walk towards Bangalore. The ant started walking from the trunk towards the elephant's tail. So, the elephant is walking from South towards North and ant is walking from North towards South.Even if the ant is walking in exactly the opposite direction , it will reach Bangalore or wherever the elephant takes it. All the while, the ant thinks that it is going south , but in reality it is moving in the northern direction.
Similar to this , man thinks he is the one performing all actions and so expects fruits for his actions. He feels responsible for the results of his actions. But it is not so. The Supreme God is the one performing all activities. Our activities are nothing.We are like the ants on the elephant and He is the One carrying all of us to our destination. Have faith in Him.
