"If while washing dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not 'washing the dishes to wash the dishes.'

In fact we are completely incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink.If we can't' wash the dishes, the chances are we won't be able to drink our tea either.
