Adi Da Samraj from The Avon Lady 1973: Truly, the Self is mad. The Self is unlearned. The appropriate foundation of human life is not an entity, a separate self-sense, an ego, even a soul. Such is not the appropriate foundation for human life. The appropriate foundation for human life is the Heart, the Self. It is utterly mindless, utterly free, uncontained, unqualified. But, paradoxically, when the Heart is lived, the human being becomes functional, usable, alive, moved. Such a one makes no complicated use of the things an ordinary man uses to survive. Like a child, he moves by delight. He is a man of pleasure, of enjoyment. Like a madman, he learns nothing from life. He doesn’t believe what he sees. He doesn’t take it to have any limiting significance. He throws away all the things that seem to everyone so profound, so serious. He attributes nothing to them. So the Realized man is like a madman and a child. But apart from actual Realization, Radical Understanding, what I have just said is a form of entertainment. It doesn’t affect your impending death. And your death is what interests the Guru.
