Something I heard this morning that stuck with me
A scholar went to a wise master to learn. The scholar had much knowledge. The master made them tea. When he poured tea into the scholars cup, he kept pouring until the scholar’s cup was overflowing. The scholar asked the master. What are you doing? The cup is already full. The master then explained to him like the cup. You are already full of your opinions. How can I teach something to someone who doesn’t allow room for knowledge? A mind cannot let in peace if it’s overflowing with worries. A heart cannot let in love when it’s overflowing with resentment.
