The enlightened sage Meher Baba used to travel all around the world visiting psychiatric hospitals for finding masts and properly rehabilitating them. He carefully distinguishes the mast state from madness and explains that in the case of the mad person, the mind is sped up, while in the case of the mast it is slowed down. He considered masts to be spiritually developed people who had become spellbound by inner spiritual experiences and ecstasies and hence found it hard to operate and function normally in the material world. Consequently, to the casual observer, they would look mad even though they were actually harmless and highly sensitive people . Meher Baba taught that the mast properly rehabilitated would continue in their spiritual path and would be of inward service to humanity. A compilation of his sayings on masts.... Masts 1
I met a mast many yrs ago. 2of us socalled normals were visiting a friend in a now defunct facility. & we got to talking with his room8. He had somekinda wild theory associated with the sun. In that he couldnt be out in it long. & there was a bit more to it involving the dark elite. I really did wanna revisit him. But failed to but it got me thinking of the concept of helping him. He really only seemed a wise hippy. Hardly different than some of my ideas.
