Become Alert and Watch things

A Zen Master was asked, "What did you use to do before you became enlightened?"

He said, "I used to chop wood and carry water from the well for my Master's house."
The inquirer asked, "And now that you have become enlightened, what do you do?"
He said, "I chop wood and carry water."
The inquirer was obviously puzzled. "Then what is the difference? You used to chop
wood and carry water, you still chop wood and still carry water -- then what is the
difference?"
The Master laughed. He said, "The difference is infinite! Before I simply used to chop
wood not knowing the beauties that surrounded me. Now chopping wood is not the same
because I am not the same. My eyes are not the same, my heart beats in a different
rhythm -- my heart beats with the heart of the whole. There is a synchronicity, there is
harmony.

"Carrying water from the well is the same from the outside, but my interior has become

totally different. I am a new man, I am born again! Now I can see in depth, I can see into
the very core of things, and each pebble has become a diamond, and each song of a bird
is nothing but a call from God, and whenever a flower blooms, God blooms for me.
Looking into people's eyes I am looking into God's eyes. Yes, on the surface I am
carrying on the same activity, but because I am not the same the world is not the same."

Start becoming a little more alert and watch things, and you will be surprised. Life is

mysterious, unexplainable -- life is absurd. You cannot prove anything for or against.
