anybody saying that they are mad; if they can meditate ....
The word 'meditation' is beautiful because it doesn't condemn you, and it has a sacredness about it... a certain sanctity, a purity. It is not just something that a madman is going to do.

So just a receptivity is needed, a passivity is needed. One should remain open and not close one's doors, that's all.

And that's how humanity has become petrified. We are afraid
