"Whosoever has any contact with reality is called an Idiot. The word Idiot has two meanings: the true meaning that was given to it by the ancient sages was 'to be oneself'. A man who is himself looks and behaves like a mad man to those who live in the world of illusion: so when they call a man an idiot they mean that he does not share in their delusions."
