The sutra
On one occasion, as Joshu was receiving new arrivals in his monastery, he asked one of them, "Have you been here before?"
"Yes," the monk replied.
"Help yourself to a cup of tea!" Joshu said to him. Then he turned to another new arrival and said, "Have you been here before?"
"No, your reverence," the visitor replied. "This is my first visit here."
Joshu said to him, "Help yourself to a cup of tea!"
The prior of the monastery took Joshu aside and said, "One had been here before, and you gave him a cup of tea. The other had not been here, and you also gave him a cup of tea. What is the meaning of this?"
Joshu called out loudly, "Prior!"
"Yes?" the prior replied.
"Help yourself to a cup of tea!" instructed Joshu.


Question 1
Beloved Osho, I heard you say during our meditation that the intensity of our effort would pull us towards our center. I have also heard you say that potential disciples are pulled magnetically towards the master. Is there a similarity and connection between these two things?
