Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

In this short clip from a recent satsang (dharma talk) with students of non-duality, I touch on the return to the day-to-day marketplace from the spiritual mountaintop.

The Work does not cease once there is the realization of Oneness. Yes, suffering and seeking end once egoic identification dissolves, yet the life and learning and growth continue.

How is this wisdom principle landing for you? Are you chopping wood and carrying water? Stabilizing in the intensity? Caught in the tsunami yet peaceful in the midst? Let me know in the comments! If you are drawn to attending future non-dual satsangs (dharma talks), contact me directly.

With Love and Peace,
