A few years ago, I read something on this site that's stuck with me: http://jonathanscorner.com/koans/ (the personal website of an Orthodox Christian who has some great stuff):
A novice said to a master, "I am humble."
The master said, "No, you are not humble."
Another novice said, "I am not humble."
The master said, "That's right; you are not humble."
A novice said to a master, "I am humble."
The master said, "No, you are not humble."
Another novice said, "I am not humble."
The master said, "That's right; you are not humble."
