Scholar and the old monk

One day, an old monk was sitting in the temple and enjoying his tea, and then a scholar came to visit the temple. The monk invited the scholar to have a tea.
The scholar asked the old monk, “I am teaching Buddhism in the university for so many years, and I studied most of the Buddhist bibles. In fact, I can repeat the whole collection of the Buddhist Bibles from the first chapter to the last chapter by memory. I practice everyday and I see everything has no differences, nothing is bordering me. Am I in the right track?

The old monk smiled and didn’t answer him. At the same time, the old monk picked up a pot and added up some more tea into the scholar’s cup. The monk continues to do that and the tea over flew the cup.

The scholar stopped the old monk and said, “Did I ask you a difficult question that makes you nervous?”

The old monk smiled and said, “No, I already answered your question.”
