Vol. 14, The Smiling Forehead

Points of View held by Spiritual Persons

A Madness

There is another point of view, the point of view of the madzub: that every head has a madness, a certain madness, be it of a higher or a lower kind. Why is it madness? Because it is unique, it is distinct and it is different: every head has a different thought, an idea different from others. We call mad someone who has an idea different from others. But every person has an idea different from others. Knowing this the madzub tries to act as mad, because he thinks, "When I am among the mad, then I too must act as mad." But the one who tries to act as mad, is not mad; because he is acting as mad it is different.
