Learning Vs. Teaching

“I wish to learn. Will you Teach me?”
“I do not think that you will know how to learn” said the Master
“Can you teach me how to learn?”
“Can you learn how to let me teach?”

To his bewildered disciples the Master later said: “Teaching only takes place when learning does. Learning only takes place when you teach something to yourself”
