An elephant normally has two tusks. The mind too frequently comes up with two

alternatives: the good and the bad, the excellent and the expedient, the fact

and the fantasy that lures it away. However, in order to achieve anything, the

mind must become single-pointed. The elephant head of Lord Ganesha, therefore

has one tusk only, and hence Ganesha is called 'Ekadantha' meaning the

single-tusked one, to remind everyone that one must possess single-pointedness

of the mind.- Baba
