If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. But what does out of our mind means? Are we not being behaving normally if it for the sake of God? As I asked myself these question, an scenario pictured in my mind. "You are a foreigner at the riverbank, there are people around you, people from the village, there is a villager drowning. The river is leading to a big waterfall. Everyone around you is hesitant on saving the poor guy as they know chances that they will be able to save the guy in time. What would you do? Jump in straight without hesitating? Or join the villagers and watch helplessly? I told myself i would jump in straight to save that guy. Then one villager call you to me: "Are you insane?? Are you out of your mind? You will not be able to make it!" I turned back: "Even if I'm out of my mind, it is the will of God for me to save him." From it, I realized, the levels of "out of our mind", how the world deems as "insane", but it is for God's best interests.
What about "being in the right mind"? Based on the the previous scenario, I found myself being able to save the guy and carry him back to village. I told myself I have to nurse him back to good health so that he returns to his life with his people. Even when my mind is right, it is for the interests for the villager who needs help.
Conclusion, there is a time for us to be "mad" (of how the world views us) but it is for God's interests. But also there is a time of calm, sensible conduct, for the benefits of the people.
