यदि यज्ञस्य सतो: मुमुक्षोरचेतमात्मानत्मेत्युपदिशेत् प्रमाणभूतं शास्त्रं श्रद्धधानतया अन्धगोलाङ्गूलन्यायेन तदाऽत्मदृष्टि परित्यजेत्, तद् व्यतिरिक्तं चात्मानं प्रतिपद्येते। --ब्रह्मसूत्र, शाङ्करभाष्य 1.7, सा० 40
A blind man who was moving falteringly on a street, was advised by an ordinary man to catch hold of the tail of a cow to reach home. Even though the blind man moved about catching the cow's tail in the whole town, he could not reach home. An innocent person is often deceived by a shrewd man. This is the indication of this maxim.
