(stolen from darkfader who stole it from weret_hekau who stole it from De Mello apparently);):

Said a traveler to one of the disciples, "I have traveled a great distance to listen to the Master, but I find his words quite ordinary."

"Don't listen to his words. Listen to his message."

"How does one do that?"

"Take hold of a sentence that he says. Shake it well till all the words drop off. What is left will set your heart on fire."

-De Mello

You know, I thought the last line was going to turn into a recipe for a drink.

Shake it well until the words drop off, and add:
One shot of vodka
One shot of triple sec
A half shot a tequila
Finish with a splash of cranberry and orange juice.

What is left will get you totally loaded....
