Proverb of the day

My friend S reminded me of this Chinese proverb:

Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water
After enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water

Babelfish gets me
在启示, 砍木和运载的水之前
在启示以后, 砍木和运载的水



I like the proverb. S helpfully told me I should try to find the original one and translate it into English. Maybe some day ^^

I couldn't find the Chinese version of this proverb. :P
Have to admit that I am so so curious about its original Chinese.
