People Closer To Truth

[Samuel Garcia]

Are certain individuals (aside from insane and those who are 'disabled' etc.)  naturally closer to Truth than others? For example some say that the male brain is more logical than the female brain which is more emotional. Wouldn't this mean that the male brain sees reality in a more objective frame or more with B-cognition whilst the female brain would be in D-cognition as emotions would distort reality more? 

What about people with ADHD? ADHD means that focus is a lot less concentrated than non-ADHD individuals. So meditation and self-inquiry  with ADHD would be far less effective due to poorer concentration.

aside from insane

Meher Baba did a great experiment. He traveled all over the India to catch hold of all kinds of madmen, because they are just very close to God. Only one thing is needed: somebody is needed who can shake them back to their sanity. Then they can become great Masters.

The madman, if in the hands of enlightened people, can achieve enlightenment faster than your so-called sane people. In the East there has been a longstanding tradition… in this century one man revived it again – his name was Meher Baba. He went all over India seeking and searching for mad people. In all the madhouses, anywhere that he heard there was a madman, he would go. He traveled all over India his whole life, searching for mad people.

His disciples asked him, “Why are you wasting your time with mad people when sane people are available to work upon, and they want your time?”

Meher Baba said, “You don’t understand. To bring a sane person out of his sanity is very difficult. But to bring out a madman is very easy because in a way he is already out, but from the back door. He has tasted something of the outside; we have only to show him the right door and say, “Please don’t go out from the wrong door, go from the right door. Being out is perfectly right, but choose the right door.” And Meher Baba turned many mad people into enlightened people.

Most spiritual teachers are male, there is probably something right about this.
