Disciple Realises God by Shovelling Cow-dung

A man went to a Guru desiring instruction. The Guru said, “Thou art That.” “Is that all?” asked the man. He was not satisfied and went to another Guru who understood his condition. “Well, you will have to work very hard before I will instruct you,” said this Guru. The disciple was ready to do anything. “All right, the only thing you have to do is shovel cow dung for twelve years,” said the Guru and gave the man a shovel. After twelve years, the Guru called the man and told him, “Thou art That.” The disciple immediately realised Brahman as his own Self.
