One pilgrim walked thousands of steps to meet the Teacher and finally appeared before him, asking him to share his highest wisdom.
“Then take a sip from this stream and describe to me the taste of the water.” - the teacher told him. “I have already heard and understand this Truth,” said the Seeker, a little disappointed. - Tell me, what do you understand? - asked the Teacher. - The taste of water cannot be described in words, you need to drink water, you don’t need to talk about it, so is the truth... - Now imagine - I’m sitting near a stream, and a crowd of people like you are standing in line so that I can describe the taste of water to them, although many of them have already heard this description from other Teachers.
