The Empty Cup

A great Japanese master received a university professor who came to enquire about wisdom. The master served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he could no longer restrain himself saying: "the cup is overflowing, no more water will go in!" "Like this cup," the master said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you wisdom unless you first empty your cup?"

To gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge of the Source, you must learn to empty your cup. You must suspend your intellect.
