| ...This is the deepest, the most profound possibility – and Jesus opens it. But in Christianity it is lost. Christianity started to weave theories around it, it became a head affair – not only a heart affair, it became a head affair. Christians have produced great theologians. Look at Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica – hundreds of volumes of theology. But they missed because Jesus is not in the head. And because of these head-oriented theologians, mystics who were of the heart, who were a little deeper, were expelled from the church. Eckhart and Francis were expelled. They were thought fools, or to have gone mad, or to be heretics – because they were talking of the heart, they were talking of love... --Osho The Mustard Seed, ch. 2 |
