Madhouse


I think it’s Yogananda who said that the world is a madhouse. We all behave like crazy people when we create illusions and believe them to be real. On the other hand, some “craziness” is necessary to lighten up our existence. In fact, why take ourselves so seriously? Great saints like Joan of Arch, St. Francis of Assisi and Sri Ramakrishna were considered insane. Just stop for a minute and think about how important you believe every single happening in your life is. But… is it really? Is it really worth getting upset because…. or being angry at…. or resenting …. labeling…. judging…. How much lighter – and merrier – life would be without all these burdens!
