God was passing through the continent of Africa when he sensed that one of the tribes was losing its faith in Him. So He appeared before 4 farmers, who were at that time working in a field. They were standing at a corner of the field each; God appeared before them in the middle of the field, then disappeared. Elated, they ran to their village and proclaimed the good news. The tribe's faith was restored.
"
Then, everyone started asking the 4 farmers about the sighting, "what was God wearing?"

"He was wearing a red cloak."
"No, He was wearing a blue cloak."
"Both of you are wrong. He was wearing a green cloak."
"Are all of you nuts? He was wearing a yellow cloak!"

And they started fighting amongst themselves. But what they did not realise was that what each person saw was a glimpse of a different dimension of God. Standing and watching the same God from different positions, each person had a different perception of God. There was no need to fight, for they were all right.
