the great psychiatrist

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.
