the great psychiatrist

[Guest guest]

A mad man cannot realise himself in relation to his home, relatives, status,

occupation, aim of life and all other things because the man is himself in

diseased condition. In deranged condition of the brain one cannot know what

he is and where he is. The human being at present is practically in deranged

condition of the brain and he must therefore put himself under the treatment

of a psychiatrist for treatment. He must undergo the process of treatment

and then only he can understand what he is. Lord Shri Krishna played the

part of a great psychiatrist for treating Arjuna for curing him from his

temporary stroke of madness by acceptance of the material body as identical

with the human spirit.
