Transcript

Embracing the path of a spiritual teacher,

An aspirant approached the master with an earnest declaration,

I wish to become a teacher of the truth.

In response,

The master passed a challenging question,

Are you ready to endure ridicule,

Ignorance and even experience times of hunger until you reach the age of 45?

The aspirant replied with unwavering determination,

I am,

But please enlighten me,

What awaits me beyond the age of 45?

With a touch of wisdom and gentle humor,

The master answered,

By that time,

My friend,

You will have grown accustomed to it all.
