                       Zen master
                            Kept
                          Pouring
                    From his kettle;
            The tea continued to flow
        By now cup was full, he didn’t stop
       Cup was now overflowing, he continued.               His act
       Disciple was amazed awestruck.          Had never seen
       This was most strange behavior   Unseen    before
        He finally gathered courage.    and     asked.    
         Master the cup is full now overflowing 
           Master was waiting for this question
               He said without blinking a lid
                  Son, you have to learn…
                    Here’s a lesson from this:
      I can not give you knowledge if you are already full
      In order to receive, you need to first empty yourself.            

                           Disciple unfazed
                             He responded 
                              Dear master,
                            I am not a cup 
                   That is made of baked clay 
                My body enshrines spirit and soul
               Am not limited as a concrete object
               I am not limited by my exterior form 
                Your example fails to acknowledge 
                 The play between body and spirit 
                   Look at a one year old toddler 
                       Joyfully crawling on four
                           Fragile nascent soul
                            The beings evolve…
                        A seed contains a forest
       The human body is not a limited vessel as you say
Diferent in name and form we are made of the same clay
The make, what we contain, even the source is the same 

If the cup was bigger than the kettle and could take it all
Would that empty you? Where do you get your refill from?
             Let us acknowledge, it is the same source.
