Miserable

A Zen Koan.

One day the Master at a zen temple announced that one of the young monks had reached an advanced state of enlightenment.

The news caused some stir.

Some of the monks went to see the young monk.

"We heard you are enlightened. Is that true?" — they asked.

"It is" — he replied.

"And how do you feel?"

"As miserable as ever" — said the monk.
