A mother was feeding her newborn. The pupil shyly looked away.
“Why don’t you go and ask the mother whether you can have some of the baby’s milk?” said the Master.
The pupil didn’t say a word. Nor did he move.
Then the Master continued: “Of course you don’t drink the baby’s milk. It is not meant for you.”
They went on, and after a while the Master added: “Isn’t it amazing? When it comes to the food for their minds, so many people still want to drink nothing but breast milk.”

Sure we want just the baby milk. More than that requires thinking. And “thinking aches” - as my mother-in-law used to say.:-)
