~~A CUP OF TEA~~
If the mind when filled with some desire should seek a goal. It only hides the light.That’s how you are missing—by going out you missing, by seeking you are missing, by searching you are missing, by trying to get it you are missing, nothing is needed in your part--- the divine has given all that can be given to you. You are not sent as a beggar into the world, you are sent as emperors. Just have a look inside, just in some moments don’t go anywhere, desireless, not thinking of the future, not thinking of of the past, just remaining here and now, and suddenly it is there – it has been always there - and you start laughing.
When Lin Chi was asked that when he attained enlightenment what he did, that was the first thing he did, he said, “what can one do? I laughed and asked for a cup of tea. I laughed! what was I doing? --- seeking something which was already there.” All the Buddhas have laughed, and all the Buddhas have asked for a cup of tea – because what else to do ? it is already there. You were unnecessarily running here and there; tired , you have come back home. A cup of tea is exactly the right thing. ---OSHO
