ENLIGHTENMENT
Chop Wood, Carry Water
Taking out the garbage
By Jeff Raeddlehoudt
There's an old Zen saying:
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
It means no matter how much you know, you still have to take out the garbage. The difference is you take it out with more consciousness.
