"I am the machine and She is the Operator, I am the house and She is the Indweller. I am the chariot and She is the Charioteer. I move as She moves me; I speak as She speaks trough me. In the kaliyuga one does not hear the voice of God, it is said, except through the mouth of a child or a madman or some such person.

 

"I had all the experiences that one should have, according to the scriptures, after one's direct perception of God. I behave like a child, like a madman, like a ghoul, and like an inert thing.

 

"How can I explain to you what I experience in samadhi? After coming down from that state I think, sometimes, that my illness may be due to smadhi. The thing is, the thought of God makes me mad. All this is the result of my divine madness. How can I help it?"

 

Unless a man is simple, he cannot recognize God, the Simple One.
