Transcript

In a quiet room,

A disciple sat in deep meditation while the master scrapped a brick against the floor.

Initially,

The disciple saw it as a test of his concentration and remained undisturbed.

However,

As the sound grew increasingly unbearable,

He could no longer contain himself and exclaimed,

What are you doing?

Can't you see I am in meditation?

With a serene smile,

The master responded,

I am polishing the brick to transform it into a mirror.

Perplexed,

The disciple retorted,

You are out of your mind.

How can a brick ever become a mirror?

The master gently said,

No more absurd than your endeavor to make a meditator out of the pure self.
