So I assume that if we have not have such realisations yet, it is better to follow some etiquettes and rules first in our preparation? Soo is that why mad saints are able to do crazy wisdom stuff?

The important thing is to follow a bone fide teacher to our best ability.

As to 'Crazy Wisdom' teachers, my first teacher is often called one.
But I never saw him do anything crazy.
He was pretty traditional in what he asked of you in the way of practice.

I think a lot of 'crazy wisdom' stuff is people fantasising rather than putting the work in. :smile:
