Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
Zen Proverb
Geeta, Chapter 2, Verse 54.
Arjun, curious, asked — How does an enlightened person
talk?
sit?
walk?
Krishna unpacks — a person of steady wisdom.
There is no high, no low.
No pleasure, no pain.
No sway, no downfalls.
No expectations, no attachments.
No fear, no anger.
No status, no power, no money.
No past, no future.
Absolutely nothing but —
you;
y.o.u.r quiet existence.
Namaste.
