MYSTICAL
FRENZY !...
As you
know one of the most popular subjects of the recent days is the Mahdi!...
The
many sided man of mysticism, who is mostly at the extremes
has synchronised this concept with ‘’the naked one who warns
the people’’ either knowingly or without knowing.
The deeds of this gentleman were laid unto the table in the TV
programme named ‘’The Nut Shell’’ presented by mr.Hulki Cevizoðlu.
However,
this gentleman refrained from taking part in the programme by saying
‘’You
are setting up secret plans against me’’...
I had
been invited to participate in the said programme for stating my opinions
on the subject. However, due
to the reasons that I have explained in my essay named ‘’The U
Turn’’, I was unable to take part.
In the course of the programme he was highly criticised by the majority of the
participants in spite of the fact that there were a few defendants.
This made me sad, however when I think from the point of cutting
off the gangreous leg and helping him to get cured, I may frankly say that
this situation has pleased me.
He came
to such a point that his explanations were accepted as ‘’mystical
nonsense’’ by some well known writers of the press.
A
mystical frenzy means ‘’to talk nonsense, to make foolish remarks as
well as being in a state of wild
uncontrolled feeling, a sudden but not lasting attack of madness.’’
However,
the most important explanation is as follows:-
-It is
the state in which the personality develops a pathological system
regarding its communication with the outside world based on ideas which
are irrational and beyond common sense. This state may either be temporary
or continuous.’’...
Acoording
to the French psychiatrists, the wave of frenzy starts suddenly and
disappears without leaving any trace. If it continues, then it becomes an
interwoven part of the personality.’’
Those
who are carried off by mystical frenzies may fall into a minefield.
Therefore,
in order to stop oneself from
falling into a minefield one should not think of being an idol in any
subject and he should insist on trying the middle road.
Let us
finish our words with the following saying which is remembered often
in the philosophy of Sufism
‘’On this path many heads are cut off and nobody asks the reason’’
