“Before I was enlightened, I chopped wood and carried water. Now that I’m enlightened…I chop wood and carry water.” This is to say that once you have created a special awareness of yourself, you do the same things but your mind body state is different. The way you connect energetically with the world changes such that chopping wood and carrying water energizes you.
