"In the land of Enlightenment, your learning is of as little use as
clubs are in modern warfare. What is needed here is awareness,"
said the Master.

And he followed that statement up with the story of a disciple
who hired a Lapp refuge as a housemaid, then found to her
dismay that the young woman couldn't run a vacuum cleaner,
operate a mixer, or cope with a washing machine.

"What can you do?" the disciple asked.

The young woman smiled in quiet pride, "I can milk a
reindeer."
