The path to  perfection:

A long time student told the master that he felt he was close to becoming enlightened.

“Have you been practicing a long time?” asked the master. “Yes, master“ replied the student. “Have you been diligent in your work?” inquired the master. “Oh yes, master. Very much so“ said the student.

“One final question my student, have you felt you have made great progress?” asked the master. The student said “Yes, master.” The master smiled and said “Well, you better keep practicing then.”
