Muhasabah diri ...

i found something yg ... emm dunno what is the word to describe it.. but just read it and think abt it.

A spiritual master received a learned man who came over to gain deeper insight into the mysteries of life.
The master prepared the tea. While serving the tea he begin to explain, but learned professor kept on interrupting with his own opinions. So the master poured his visitor's cup full and then kept on pouring.
The learned man watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself, "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," the master said, " You are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you anything unless you first empty your cup?"
