One man certainly wanted to become a student of a true Master and, having decided to check the correctness of his choice, asked the Master the following question:
-Can you explain to me what the purpose of life is?
“I can’t,” came the answer.
- Then at least tell me - what is its meaning?
- I can’t.
—Can you say anything about the nature of death and life on the Other Side?
- I can’t.
The disappointed visitor left. The disciples were confused: how could their Master appear in such an unsightly light?
The master reassured them by saying:
- What is the use of knowing the purpose and meaning of life if you have never tasted it? It's better to eat pie than talk about it.
