| It happened once, a man came to Saint Augustine and he said, "What should I do? And tell me in short, because I am an illiterate person and I cannot understand great theological things. So just in short, simply, so that I can understand and remember it, just tell me the essence of religion." Saint Augustine is reported to have said, "Love, and then all else will follow. And don't bother about anything else..." --Osho Vedanta: Seven Steps to Samadhi, ch. 6 |
