A man went to Monk
Residing in the Himalayas,
He requested,
"Teach me Oh Monk
i want to experience
Bhakhti and Spirituality"
Reply came
"What you do for living"
Man said
"50 years as a Coffee and Tea plantation worker "
Monk smiled and said
" Thou already have it. Please teach me"
Man was confused
"What do i have"
Monk replied,
"I sit in a same place and meditate.
What do I have"
Monk went into silence and replied
"Open thine eyes,
do the same work for next year.
Then we shall see"
An year passed,
The man came back.
On sighting the Man ,
The Monk bowed to him
"O Master Please teach me "
The Man smiled and replied the following
"
I had it ,
I did not see it
Coffee is limited to a certain 'coffea' species.
Tea is limitless
Hibiscus, Mint, Honey, Blueberry , Herbal Tea and so on .
Coffee plants are grown on a specific climate
Tea plants are grown everywhere
Coffee is a product
Tea is a concept
Coffee is what is given to you
Tea is what you make of
Coffee needs marketing
Tea needs a real thirst
Coffee is of a certain form
Tea is formless
Coffee is made from the seed
Tea is made from any part of the plant ,
seed ,root , stem or leaves.
Coffee is the Sun
Tea is the Universe
Many stick to coffee for the elitism and get addicted
Many prefer tea for all its simplicity.
Understand Coffee to realise Tea
Start with Coffee
Which is true bhakthi
Your Goal should be Tea
Which is true spirituality
"
