A great Japanese master received a university professor who came to enquire about wisdom. The master served him 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 power of the Source of all things and the wonderment of the universe, you must first learn to empty your cup. We must first suspend our intellects.
