empty ur cup before you fill it up
A professor of philosophy visited a master to learn about meditation.
he approached the master and asked, ‘sir, what is meditation?”
a true master can know a person at a glance.he looked at the professors, and was silent.when the professor repeated his question the master said politely, ” son,it is time for tea .let us have our tea,and we will discuss meditation afterwards.”
the master started pouring tea into the professor’s cup.even after the cup had been filled to the brim.he continued to pour.
the professor watched the tea OVERFLOW UNTIL HE COULD NO LONGER contain himself.
‘sir,the cup is over flowing ! no more will go in !”
“like this cup,” said the teacher,”you too are full of your own opinions,conclusions,speculations and prejudices.how then can i teach you about meditation,unless you first empty your cup?”
To gain the right fullness,one must rid oneself first of meaningless things.

Good story, friend.

Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge. So onemust brush up the things which he his going to learn if he has only half knowledge about it.
The virtue lies in the struggle, not the prize.
