Emptiness, Is It True Silence?
A disciple of Yoka kept approaching him gleefully with all his spiritual experiences that he encountered in his meditation sessions.
He related to the master that he saw a light, felt the Kundalini raising, an inner fragrance and the like.
Each time he spoke of an experience to his master hoping to be appreciated for his spiritual progress , he was only beaten up.

Yoka only beat him more and said, “Here you are with another idea, throw your emptiness out!"
The aghast disciple said, “But how can I throw emptiness ? It is not possible"
