Sweat is God
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu Online
Words that can be trusted:
Love sweat and never miss work.
Hating sweat will deform you into
a desperate beggar one day.
Even as a beggar one
must struggle to survive,
Bathing in sweat through myriad
hassles in the beggar’s life.
Love sweat, worship sweat,
bathe in sweat every day;
God will bless you everywhere,
every night and all days.
Sweat becomes God,
both guarding and aiding us,
All the time and everywhere,
that sweat flows freely.
Sweat becomes holy water,
cooling everyone’s heart,
Yet people tend to mistake it
as a bad omen.
