Discourse 19
Simply Singing My Own Song
Simply Singing My Own Song
30 December 1987 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
THERE IS NOTHING I NEED TO KNOW – I JUST LOVE THE SOUND
OF YOUR VOICE. PLEASE COMMENT.
Deva Pagalo, it is not a coincidence that I have given you a name
which means ”the madman.” It is a very rare and unique situation to
be meditative and to be mad.
There have been millions of mad people but their madness is a
sickness, their madness means they have fallen below the mind and
they have to be brought back at least to the normal state of mind.
That’s the whole profession of the psychoanalyst, the psychiatrist,
the therapist.
But there have also been a very few mad people who have not
fallen below mind but who have gone beyond mind. As far as mind is
concerned, both are out of the mind. Both are mad, but the man
who has gone beyond the mind has come to a state which is the
ultimate blessing in this existence.
When I gave you the name Deva Pagalo I had seen the possibility in
your eyes that you can be one day a madman of the highest quality,
a divine madman. It is not sickness, it is the ultimate in health.
What you are saying actually needs to be understood by everyone.
You are saying, ”There is nothing I need to know.”
Certainly, there is nothing that one needs to know. In a deeper
sense, there is no one who can have the need to know. You are an
utter emptiness, silence, serenity...
