What is the meaning of the statement of Ramana Maharshi 'if a big elephant is tied down in a small hut'?

[Shri G Lakshman asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, I came across an interesting article, while reading the life of Sri Ramana Maharishi. I reproduce the excerpt from it. Kunjuswami was serving Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi as an attendant, he found Bhagavan’s body and head were shaking and faltering and so, he asked Bhagavan, “Bhagavan, although only in middle age, strangely enough, has a shaking of the head and of the body necessitating the aid of a stick for walking. What could be the reason for it?” Bhagavan replied, with a smile, “What is there so strange in it? If a big elephant is tied down in a small hut, what else will happen to that hut except troubles of all sorts?

Please clarify the following doubts and excuse me if I have mentioned anything wrong. It’s a known fact that human incarnations have undergone pain and sufferings of their devotees, but what did He mean by “If a big elephant is tied down in a small hut”? Was He referring to the presence of Datta in the quantitative sense? At Your lotus feet, Your servant, G Lakshman]

Swami replied: The stick in his hand represents that every soul must take the support of God irrespective of its strength and efficiency. If the big elephant, which is God, is tied in a hut, which is the poor human medium, the hut will be safe as long as the elephant stands still. The hut shall not get ego because the hut is just inert before the elephant having awareness and lot of potency. This means that as long as the human being component of the human incarnation is not affected by ego, the elephant will stand still. If the hut or human being is affected by unnatural ego, the elephant or God starts moving and the hut will be in trouble. The example for this is Parashurama, Who got ego after killing all the kings and was insulted by another human incarnation, God Rama, Who never got even a trace of ego. Sage Ramana Maharshi is the incarnation of God Subrahmanya and neither He needs a stick nor is the vibration of His head basically real. All that was shown by the Sage was only to preach souls about total surrender to God without self-ego.
