   The madman, if in the hands of enlightened people, can achieve   
   enlightenment faster than your so-called sane people. In the East there   
   has been a longstanding tradition… in this century one man revived it   
   again – his name was Meher Baba. He went all over India seeking and   
   searching for mad people. In all the madhouses, anywhere that he heard   
   there was a madman, he would go. He traveled all over India his whole   
   life, searching for mad people.   
      
   His disciples asked him, “Why are you wasting your time with mad people   
   when sane people are available to work upon, and they want your time?”   
      
   Meher Baba said, “You don’t understand. To bring a sane person out of   
   his sanity is very difficult. But to bring out a madman is very easy   
   because in a way he is already out, but from the back door. He has   
   tasted something of the outside; we have only to show him the right door   
   and say, “Please don’t go out from the wrong door, go from the right   
   door. Being out is perfectly right, but choose the right door.” And   
   Meher Baba turned many mad people into enlightened people.   
      
   It is a strange world. Here, really great things are never rewarded.   
   Nobody has bothered about Meher Baba. Mother Teresa will get a Nobel   
   prize because she looks after poor orphan children, and nobody thought   
   of giving a Nobel prize to Meher Baba who really did a miraculous job –   
   and he was the only man, after centuries.
