One Master traveled incognito with his disciples. They stopped at a caravanserai for the night. In the morning the owner served breakfast and tea. When they began to drink tea, the owner suddenly fell at the Master’s feet. The students were very surprised. How could the owner know that there was a Master among them? Who revealed the secret to the owner of the caravanserai? The master laughed and said:
“Don’t be surprised, ask him himself how he recognized me.”
The students turned to the owner with a question:
- How did you know that he is the Master?
“I couldn’t help but find out,” said the owner. — For many years I have been setting the table for my guests. I have seen thousands of people, but I have never met a person who looks at a tea cup with such love.
