A visitor wanted students to be in a monastery. Previously, he wanted to speak with the Master.
"Master, you can teach me what is the goal of a human life?"
"I can not."
"Or at least his mind?"
"I can not."
"Can you tell me the nature of death and a life beyond the grave?"
"I can not."
went berserk like the visitors. The students were disappointed that their master had made such a bad figure.
As the Master said soothingly to them, "What good is it to understand the essence of life and to understand its meaning, if you've never tasted it I would rather you eat your pudding than your speculation?."
(from Anthony de Mello: "One minute wisdom")
