Before enlightenment, chop wood...

...after enlightenment, do what you want!

I seem to be twisting koans and turning them toward my own purposes. The original koan in this case is, "...after enlightenment, chop wood."

I suppose I should just stop there, so as not to defeat the purpose of the koan. I shall only add that The Vinegar Tasters is a depiction of 3 enlightened masters. I align with :)
