Beyond The Fanciful Worlds-A Short Hindu Story From The Mahabharata
God took the form of King Dhritarashtra to test a hermit who lived a quiet, peaceful and a principled life. This hermit had attended on a baby elephant that had lost its mother and tended it until it grew up to become a huge animal.

The hermit who was put off retorted, “I will retrieve the elephant even if you have to take it to Yama Loka, the abode of death"
The king would not given in, “Only sinners go to the abode of death"
The hermit replied, “But there is truth in Yamaloka. Righteousness prevails there with no disparities between the strong and the weak"
The king spoke of a higher realm where the hermit argued that he would follow.
This way the argument grew as the king mentioned of realm after realm with the hermit saying that he would follow him everywhere.
Finally the highest realm, the Brahma Loka was mentioned.
The hermit said, “I will follow you there as well!"
