00:00Have you heard of Tilopa?
00:02So, this fellow goes to the teacher, the top monk, and says,
00:07I have come to you now and I want to learn.
00:09Please tell me what to do.
00:11Guru tells him, you go and you occupy yourself in the kitchen.
00:15And in the kitchen, you busy yourself with working on the til.
00:20He started working on that.
00:22And the Guru being quite old and also probably old people do get demented.
00:28Guru forgot, totally forgot.
00:34And this fellow just kept himself to the kitchen for 11 long years.
00:40When the Guru is about to depart, the Guru says,
00:46Whosoever among my disciples can come and tell me one pithy line,
00:50who can capture everything in just a few words, shall be my successor.
00:56And so people come up and they all wax, all eloquent and come up with great scholarly and erudite lines.
01:10Finally, nobody remains who hasn't tried.
01:15And Tilopa is busy in his kitchen. His name itself has become Tilopa.
01:19Finally, he comes and he sees what is written.
01:22So he goes there and he wipes it clean and stands there.
01:27And the Guru smiles and says this and departs.
01:32He has totally effaced himself.
01:37Totally!
