Empty Your Cup, Only Then Would You be able to Get a Refill #ZenStory#

A CUP of TEA!
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is over full. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculation's. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"


.......
This was the first Zen story I ever read. (It is the most Famous Zen story too tho).
Well, A friend told me about Zen, She then googled it and gave me the story I just shared with you to read. I was 'Wowed' by the story.
...It made so much sense, at that very moment I realised that:

Most times,we do not keep our opinions and beliefs aside when we come across something new. As a result, we tend to be biased (unconsciously tho!), and judge that new things based on what we already know about something similar or what someone else has said about it. That way, we end up not getting the 'Full Gist' and learn everything we are supposed to from and about it.
I think that's why people always say "if you want to learn something, come as a child (like stupid and totally humble) that knows absolutely nothing about anything" only then Can you fully grasp what you should.
Wait! Even the bible says it in Mark10:25 "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God LIKE A LITTLE CHILD will never enter it.""

Really, if we don't empty our cups, if we don't keep our opinions and beliefs aside, We won't ever really learn anything.
