is my suggestion: move her somewhere. And nobody from the family should follow. She has to be left alone with strangers and she will be completely okay, immediately. That is the best that can be done to anybody who is going crazy. In fact nothing has to be done -- one just has to be taken out of the family surroundings. Something must be there that is driving her crazy.
And all families are insane. The earth is not yet fortunate enough to have sane families. The insanity is so deep-rooted and so much accepted, so much a part of the structure, that nobody thinks that it is insane. Just write this much. And you need not get into it. There is nothing in it, nothing in it, mm ? Otherwise you can create unnecessary anguish for yourself. And never feel guilty because you are happy. You feel guilty, it seems.... Don't feel that. Never feel guilty if you are happy. If you want to feel guilty, feel it when you are miserable. Join, associate misery with guilt but never associate guilt and happiness. A happy person is absolutely guiltless. But this is how we have been brought up in the world -- to feel guilty whenever one is happy. A few people don't allow themselves to be happy at all, just out of the fear that if they are happy something is wrong. In such a miserable world you are feeling happy? There are people starving, and you are happy? There are thousands and thousands of people in the hospitals and millions of people going mad, and you are feeling happy? There is Vietnam and there is Israel and there is this and that, and you are feeling happy? The moment they feel happy they bring all kinds of problems around them. They surround themselves in gloom and darkness and then they are miserable. Then everything is okay: they are not guilty. And in fact the miserable person is the cause of all others' misery. He helps the world to remain miserable.
So never for a single moment feel guilt for being happy. You don't take your happiness from anybody else but you can give your misery. You can't give your happiness to anybody and you can't take anybody's happiness. Happiness is untransferable; misery is very easily infectious. And people are hankering for misery,
