過猶不及

一九三 過猶不及

一位充滿狂熱的弟子一心想去教導別人「真理」,前來徵求大師的意見。大師只說:「等一等。」

每年這位弟子都提出同樣的請求,而每年大師的答覆都是:「等一等。」

有一天,他終於忍不住質問大師:「究竟要等到什麼時候我才夠格去教導別人?」

大師說:「當你一心想為人師的狂熱消退以後。」

AGGRESSION

A zealous disciple expressed a desire to teach others the Truth and asked the Master
what he thought about this. The Master said, “Wait.”

Each year the disciple would return with the same request and each time the Master
would give him the same reply: “Wait.”

One day he said to the Master, “When will I be ready to teach?’

Said the Master, “When your excessive eagerness to teach has left you.”
