Osho, the enlightened mystic has spoken on the Zen masters who created many sorts of situations for people to awake. In one such discourse Osho speaks of a beautiful story:

“The Japanese master Nan-in gave audience to a professor of philosophy.

Serving tea, Nan-in filled his visitor's cup, and kept pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he could restrain himself no longer: stop!

The cup is overfull, no more will go in. Nan-in said: like this cup, you are full of your own opinions and speculations. ow can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?” The price ranges from Rs. 475 to Rs. 6000 per kettle.
