"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
~ Zen Proverb
I have my own opinions of what this quote means but was after everybody else's opinions,
From my point of view it means that enlightenment changes very little, if anything at all, concerning life's daily chores. This means you can have an epiphany or a sudden revelation that makes your understanding of life's mysteries seem almost crystal clear. Thus we call this enlightenment, But does it change anything?.
That is the question.
