Madness

Madness = the state of being insane.
Insane = Said especially of actions: extremely foolish; stupid.

Madness is also a terminology for people who are mentally sick.
loosing control over action, reasoning etc. I remember, taking bhaang (Indian Opium) one day, and it felt like I was becoming mad. I had lost all control of self, reasoning etc. However I safely reached home. On my way to home, when I was freaking out, and the mind was dancing on I was really scared to hell. Fear had engulfed me from different sorts of thoughts primarily,

• from some very deep dungeons a thought of hate was surfacing towards God. I am not clear what it was, I felt like something deep was not OK with God.
  
• from a sense that some one else was entering me. A overwhelming fear that I was unprotected, someone was sitting next to me, to some one overpowering me and trying to enter me.
• from a sense of getting mad. while my mind kept on racing wildly, I dont know, what was there which was realizing that I may become mad.
  

I prayed to God. I dont know how, but I kept on praying to God, to protect and save me from this situation. Some how I was saved. It seems I have excersiced my liberty in getting mad. Madness I suppose is the way of making your mind relent. its a state where you are overpowered by the emotion, and you are unable to deal with it.

when I travel, I look around and I see that there are faces which are traumatized, shallow and mentally sick. I cannot solve everyone's problem, when I havent been able to solve my own problem. But there is a great need of helping people from there mental troubles.

mental troubles invariably start from the situation a person is in.
Well God Does say in Bhagavad Gita, we are not the body, but we are soul, atma. this Atma is engulfed with the false identity of 'Aham' a sense of ego, that I exist as the Lord of all I survey. This 'aham' has some more coverings like 'vivek' and 'man', ie. 'intelligence' and 'mind'. the last and not the least is the body. our real self 'the atma' is engulfed in these different encoatings, and we identify with the body as our selves.

I say the above, because I believe in God 'Lord Krishna'. I also pray, that I may never forget Him 'Lord Krishna'.

There are more things I would like to say, there are probably even more questions, on the mind of the person reading all this. I wish and pray, that all people can come close to God and always remember him. One must understand that he is not this body.
