THE CUP OF LIFE

As he was about to sip his tea, the disciple noticed a fly in his cup. This was, of course, a minor occurrence. Living in an ashram surrounded by the woods, such occurrences are but inevitable - a fly in the tea, insects crawling all over one’s body, ants in the sugar bin, spiders in the cupboard, even scorpions on the roof!

The Master happened to see the disciple grimace. He leaned forward with sympathy and consternation.

“What’s the matter?”

“Oh, nothing.” The disciple said. “It’s nothing - just a fly in my tea.” The disciple managed a little smile to project acceptance and composure. “I don’t want my Master to think that mere insects can disturb me… certainly not after all these years of being with him,” the disciple thought to himself.

“Oh, oh, a fly in the tea,” the Master said in a low tone.

“It’s no problem.” The disciple reiterated, smiling reassuringly at the Master. But the Master, with concern written all over his face, continued to focus on the cup. He rose from his chair, leaned over and dipped his finger into the tea. With great care, he lifted out the offending fly and then left the room.

A while later, the Master returned, beaming. “He’s going to be all right,” he said softly. He explained how he had placed the fly on the leaf of a bush so his wings could dry. “He’s still alive and has started flapping his wings… we can confidently expect him to take flight soon…”

Then the Master turned towards his disciple and said, “It wasn’t a question of the tea, but the life of the fly. You can always make another cup of tea, but the fly wouldn’t have got another moment to live… if we hadn’t acted in time.”

To the disciple stunned at the Master’s compassion, the Master said, “Use things and love life… don’t love things and abuse life.”

Thanks
