It's Good to be Mad
A
little madness in life gives it a whole new perspective – it adds excitement,
it brings laughter, it brings adventure and a whole lot of life’s dimensions
open up. By being mad, what I mean is you should not follow the beaten path,
that is so boring, so dull – do something out of the ordinary, something which
will make your peers turn around and say, “Are you mad?” Then you could laugh and
say, “Yes – but isn’t it fun?” When the other person sees your point of view,
he too will enjoy the situation.
We
need to bring people out of their mundane definition of life – if you can do
something differently, just do it, believe me you will succeed. People are so
used to living life in a set pattern, that after some time it becomes boring
and with boredom, comes ennui and with ennui comes lack of interest resulting
in an overall depressing scenario!
But
behaving in an out of the ordinary manner, what is called ‘out of the box’
thinking in the corporate world, will always give you great results. This may
cause initial problems but it always results in a beneficial end result. Madness
in life is essential to bring about excitement and adventurism in living. The
end result gives you so much of positivity that it boosts your ability to go
headlong into situations and come out smiling, because you have that madness in
you not to be afraid, and act in a manner which will surprise everyone present
in any given situation.
Our
madness should never be such that it could hurt another, it should be such that
it brings positive results and laughter in one’s life. When people start
meditating, friends and relatives think he has gone mad, he wants to become an
ascetic, etc – all kinds of opinions are formed in people’s minds – but that is
their worry. With meditation comes inner calm and peace and the joy to be as
mad as one wants – but this joy is contagious and harmless as it spreads love
and harmony. Be mad, be happy, be blissful and crazy – life is fun just live it
in your own madness!

Interesting But how practical it is for most of us? With responsibilities etc. Maybe after certain stages in life, one can spread the wings and go a little mad!
If I may ask, wat kind of mediation do you follow/recommend?
