"This is your new
name: Unmäd. Unmäd means mad, but mad with a method, mad in love, mad for god.
The world is full of mad people:
somebody is mad for money, somebody is mad for power. Those are the lower kinds of
madness. There are higher kinds of madness too: somebody is mad in love, somebody is mad
for god.
The only thing that is needed is to transform the lower madness into the higher madness,
to focus oneself on the beyond, to put one's total energies into the search for the
unknown.
Even if we can get money, nothing is found, it proves only a vain effort. And the life
that we put into gathering, into accumulating, money, is gone down the drain, it cannot be
reclaimed. Even if one becomes very powerful politically, finally it proves to be only a
toy. And once you have it, it is meaningless; its whole meaning consists in not having it.
When you don't have money it is tremendously significant; when you have it it is utterly
meaningless.
The higher kind of madness brings you to things which are meaningful only when you have
them; that is the difference. Love is meaningless if you have not loved; when you love,
only then is it meaningful. Money is meaningful only when you don't have it, when you have
it it is meaningless.
That is the criterion to judge which is lower and which is higher. The higher is
meaningful when you have it, the lower is meaningful when you don't have it. Hence the
lower is only in the hope, it can exist only in the future; it cannot exist in the
present.
The higher can exist in the present; and when you have it then you know its beauty, its
tremendous blessings. If this criterion is understood, then slowly slowly, one can start
changing one's life from the lower to the higher, dropping all toys and searching for the
real.
Unmäd means the higher kind of madness, and the higher kind of madness is the only sanity
there is. |
