"Buddha is a very rational person: he divides, categorizes. But there is a third category Buddha is not aware of. The Sufis know about the third category; they call them mastas – the mad people.

"There is no need for you to alternate, because alternating between one path and the other you will always feel this problem of judgment. When you are on one you will think that you are missing the other, and this will become an unnecessary anguish.

"Simply be wherever you are. Enjoy the moment, all the moments – the moments of love and the moments of meditation – and don't be bothered with the other. In a particular moment, be totally in it. Playing, loving, dancing, singing, forget that there is another path. And while you are feeling silent, still, alone, and enjoying your aloneness, forget that there is any path called love.

"It is not a question of consciously alternating between the two; otherwise you will become divided, schizophrenic, and to be schizophrenic is to fall below normal sanity. Mastas, the really mad people, don't fall below sanity, they go above it, they transcend it. Both look mad; both are no longer in the world of reason: one has fallen below it, one has gone above it. In a sense they are alike and in a sense they are absolutely different.

"Indivar, you are a masta. Rejoice in being whatsoever you are. And what is happening to you is the best that can happen to a man. It is just natural for you to be sometimes with others and enjoying their company, and sometimes to be with yourself and enjoying your own company. It is like day and night for you. You need not choose: the day is followed by the night on its own accord. It is like summer and winter. It is not a question of choice on your part; it is something spontaneous and natural that is happening to you. I am tremendously happy with you; so simply be as you are, drop this judgment.

"So let me state it clearly. There are three possibilities: one, meditation; second, love; third, one can just be crazy with no question of choice, no question of deliberately going on a certain path, forcing yourself on a certain path."
